Alan, Usually, with price shoppers, I will try to tell the person that the first thing they should ask a piano tuner is:"Are you a member to the Piano Technicians Guild?" If this goes over ok, then I explain to them the advantages and the classifications we have. Also, I try to let them know that shopping for bargains in "Service" is not generally a good idea. I try to avoid talking about the local "Schlocks" unless specifically asked and then I refer them to the first part of the conversation. Best Regards, Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon) Been There, Didn't Like It, So I'm Here To Stay! [G}
