I am listed as a Rhodes repairer on the Rhodes web site. They bring their pianos to me and I charge $90.00 for the first hour and then $60.00 per hr. after that. I do carry parts for these pianos and am the only tuner doing these instruments. If they want me to go to their place, then it is the normal tuning fee of $145.00 plus any repairs needed.

Org Subject: Yet another billing question Greetings all -- I have a customer with a home studio and for whom I tune their Yamaha C2. They recently acquired an old Fender Rhodes, a Clavinet and an old Wurlitzer electric piano. All three are in working order but they need tuning. I have never tuned any of these but I have done the research and know what the procedure is, and I'm confident that I can pull this off. But I'm having trouble deciding how much to charge for the job(s). Less than 88 notes, no unisons, but I still have to open it up and adjust some sensitive mechanics, and it's still a job for a tuner. So today's question is: of those of you who tune electrics, what percentage of your full rate do you charge? Or do you just charge full rate anyway? With experience I learn to be less naive. But I'm still glad this list is here. -- Geoff Sykes -- Assoc. Los Angeles -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
