The first thing I do with the customer present is play a chromatic scale top to bottom and a few chords to gauge the general action condition, tune, tone, sticky keys, pitch voicing, etc. Once I open the cabinet I check for missing strings, dampers, pest damage, etc. I vacuum out the dust and check bridges and soundboard, etc. I have an invoice that lets me quickly check off any issues without writing based on Randy Potter's invoice. Any problems are pointed out to the customer before I start tuning along with the estimated cost for the service. That way there is no way the customer can say I caused issues. If strings might break, I tell the customer about it, and say I won't be responsible for that. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
