Hi Terry, I suggest you charge your hourly labor rate after a certain time frame--i.e. your "usual" tuning time. Explain to the client that their instrument is mechanically challenged. I also suggest you may have more success if you always tune "from below" pitch on this instrument. Stop when the unison is cleared using your tuning lever at 9 a.m. (if string is 12 noon) It does take longer than a usual tuning to do this--hence the additional charge. ===== Regards, Don Rose, B.Mus., A.M.U.S., A.MUS., R.M.T., R.P.T.
