It takes time to build up a business. You gotta do what it takes. I have to drive a lot to get my business. Usually 25000 miles a year, 10 hour days, etc. But if I didn't drive from where I live, I would have about 15 tunings a year. Have you exhausted all possibilites? Gone to all the churches in your area and told them you're giving an introductory price of half off your normal rate for the first tuning? Gone to the schools? What about asking the music director of the churches you service if they have people in choir who have pianos? Offer them the same reduced rate. Pass out your business cards to everyone in sight. Get crazy with it! What about talking with a busy tuner to see if you could do some work in his shop, or help with any "junker" pianos he doesn't want to tune? You could offer him half and he wouldn't have to even leave his shop! Sounds like you just gotta get some cash flow and half of your usual rate is better than nothing. Man, I hate to hear about it - hope it gets better. Regards, John Formsma It's times like this, when I have three tunings in three weeks, that makes me wonder if I've invested alot of time and money in a part-time job.
