List, I almost always take the entire piano back to the shop as there are always other things that need to be done to make the action work properly - at least in our rust and mouse infested area of the country. This way I can clean the inside of the piano, make sure that the regulation is done accurately- to name a couple things, all without sitting in a customers house and spreading the mess around their home. My 2 cents worth!

This was the general routine when I used to work for the shop. They would include removal/delivery charges in the quote. This way, all work would be done in the shop and removers would take the piano back to customer when job was complete, no need for technician to attend. Those of you who do not take the piano away, when you return the action, how much time do you allocate for regulation at the customers home?
