HI Dave
  I like your break down but the prices could be  low  depending on travel 
time & also the cost of the bass strings. I don't see  any mark up on your 
parts!!!!!!! A set of these strings from GC/ Sanderson,  Isaac, etc., cost at least 
$250 US. I mark mine up a bit. Not 100% like most  regular businesses 
although I can't for the life of me figure out why we  don't.
   Regards,
   Dale Erwin

My  current thinking regarding a set of bass string...
Prices in Canadian  dollars.
In home 3 appointments 1)specs 2)install 3)tune


a)  Measure specs and order - one hour service call
$50.

b)  Install:

1)1 hour--- Old string off, pins out, clean up 
bridge, termination points etc. 
2)2  hours--- Bass string on 
3)1 hour -- Quick pitch raise, check seating of  loops,
double check coils, seat string on bridge, string
braid, second  pitch raise ----- Stringing is done.

c) Come back in a few days to a  week, massage string,
quick pitch raise of bass tune piano.....  regular
service spot. 

If done in home ....
a = $50
b  =$200
c = $85
Cost of rescaled string with shipping approx.  $350

Total of $690 includes spec, parts, install to pitch,
and  follow up tuning. Another tuning in 3 months 
recommended.
Cheers
Dave Renaud
