Generally, piano tuners are charging about $70 -- $90. (depending on where you live). Most tunings are done in about 60 - 75 minutes. (Again, depending on experience, etc..) If you have been charging, lets say $80, for tuning, and it took you 60 minutes. then you should be charging $120 for your 1.5 hour service call. If you can get it, great. If you're not charging that much, you'll be cheating yourself. Wim ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
