John, Sounds kind of like a guy I've heard about in Beaumont, TX. He wanted all this before he'd even tune the piano! And he's supposedly a member of PTG. Makes me want to give it up. He wanted: $250.00 Pin-driving 120.00 raise pitch-retension strings 250.00 full dismantle-clean 275.00 dampchaser system 295.00 string cover 70.00 fine tune And that was only if he could tune the piano after moving it. ($280.00). That's directly off a copy of his invoice after moving the piano for a customer!
