What's a fair price to charge for tuning a piano

[Avery]

Cy,

The way I understand it, this is basically not the issue. We just 
can't "conspire" to SET prices. Correct?
As far as what we charge is concerned, anyway. For the record, I 
charge $90.00 for a normal tuning. :-)
And I'm not at all concerned about price fixing!
