It would depend on how much you like extracting broken needles from 
hammer felt. ;-)

Yes, good discussion about broadening the idea of piano servicing. My 
experience is very similar and I might add that, while the vast majority 
see it as just another expense they don't need, it pays in many 
situations to do a little voicing and regulating spiel. You never know 
who might be interested and people are willing to spend their money on 
something that's worthwhile.

If I had my druthers, customers would bring their pianos into a piano 
servicing shop and I could walk them over to a superbly prepared 
instrument and say to them, "I can make your piano sound and play as 
well as this one." How one can simulate this in the field is the question.
