estimated pricing for work

[Bec and John]

Hi Ed,

I understand. I recommended a few times they get someone to take a look 
at the piano but they never did and I don't think they will. However, 
they do believe me it needs work and were very pleased with it while I 
was tuning and voicing it (in exchange for practise time), and they did 
ask me for some pricing estimates so they could budget it in for the 
year (this is a church).

So if I can give some estimates they will budget it and then will most 
likely get it done. Otherwise, the piano will continue to go downhill, 
when I think it could be quite good.
