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.
