[pianotech] Standard Tuning Prices

[Gerald Groot]

Yeah, I do my church for free too David.  One nice thing about my area
anyway, is that most of the RPT's don't step on each others toes or,
clients.  We find out it's theirs and we inform the customer of it.  We all
appreciate that about each other.  

 

Bill, comment taken thanks for the positive feedback. I don't think they are
an RPT.  I know one person here that is a lousy tuner, changes churches
often just to get the account. I suspect, it is the same person in this case
as there was no tuner in the congregation prior.  

 

I have two other churches where the same thing happened.  I now have them
both back again.  I found the pianos in dire need of mechanical attention,
regulation and such.  Fixed it and they realized what a difference their was
between him and me.  So long as the same music director remains in place,
I'm set..

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.

Jer, re: your "Church Tuner" comment... perhaps it might be interesting for
you to find out who that "new tooner" is.  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.

Just yesterday, I lost a long time account because "someone in
the congregation claims to tune pianos and is willing to do it for much
less."  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.
