Let me clarify...this isn't my show.  There is a gentleman in my area who 
does this, and he charges a pretty hefty fee for a service call.  I think I 
underestimated with the 150.00, come to think of it.  And I don't think it is 
based on an hourly rate, it is on a per job basis.  The assistant(let's just 
say it's someone close to the tuner) travels with the tuner.  From reports 
I've heard, the cleaning is done at each appointment, and is done while the 
tuner works. He's popular in the well heeled areas around here.

I'm just getting to the point where I think I'll get somebody to help me with 
scheduling and books!
