Richard, where can I find your type of clientele.  WE (field techs) can only afford to do what the client can afford to do.  I know not all repairs are very "acceptable" but if it keeps a piano in the house and the kids still taking lessons until the client can afford new hammers or a new piano, it is definitely worth it.
