I volunteer to tune the pianos at both of my kids' schools (no charge) and I'm sure I probably did that at the expense of someone who had the job before. Part of my contribution though, it happens.

Maybe if they are not in the PTG, you could invite them to join. If nothing else, that person will know a "real tooner" to whom they might refer other business. But if they are already a PTG member, perhaps they can indeed tune & service the piano... and as a way of serving their Church they tune the pianos at no charge.

We will always have these kinds of situations in one manner or another. You know, I can't count the amount of times some jackass tooner changes churches for the sake of getting the account long enough to screw it up then changes churches again to get the next account because they finally lost it back to me again. They must really be hard up for work. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
