Yikes AND Gadzooks !

[Willem Blees]

Even with gas, electricity and food price?going up here in Oahu,?my word of mouth business is finally starting to?get better. School and a lot of churches are?starting at the end of the month,?so a big mailer to them and teachers is going out this week, which?should bring in more business. YEAH. ???

Received my electric bill today. Used 20% less this month than last?
and the bill is 30% more. Holy Smokes.?
?
I think I'll roll back my latest price increase to some customers on fixed?
income and price reconditioned pianos to move rather than holding out?
for my premium price. This isn't a high-end area to begin but utility?
prices going to affect discretionary spending, which means piano?
tuning/services/purchases takes a back seat.?
?
I don't know if this is a sign but usually I am swamped with calls for tuning?
during the first two weeks of July, I usually refer them to other tuners but?
the phone has been welcomely quite lately; allowing me to get needed?
shop work accomplished.?
?
So if your phone is not ringing...?
you'll know it's me. :-)?
