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

[Jim]

And we don't think the oil companies constantly manage the gas prices !!!!

They sure do here in Canada . .  !!!
Besides, does the internet constitute an " association meeting" ??

I'd be curious to know what other Canadian tuners charge for a standard 
tuning . .  My fee is $95CAN . .  and I get no quibbles . .  in fact most 
customers comment that it's pretty reasonable, in that I am usually at their 
home for an hour to an hour and a half.
The stove guy charges $75 to walk in the door, and 25$ for each 15 minute 
block afterwards . . !!
