[pianotech] "premium" vs. price

[Dean May]

Technically, we can mention what our rates are, but we can't ask the other
guy what his are. In practical terms, however, the federales can and do
bring charges for whatever they feel will make the most political hay, and
they have about a 98% conviction rate.

Thank you J Patrick. My basic understanding had always been that one can
discuss rates, etc.,  but not conspire to control them. But this pretty
clearly states that one cannot even discuss rates. That seems pretty goofy
to me, but I guess that is what the "LAW" is - so I guess I'll hush up a
bit.......  :-(

Gosh, are some RPTs on the Islands only charging $75 for a tuning?

Shouldn't you be using something closer to southern California or Manhattan
fees? What are the techs there charging - $150 for a basic tuning?

The other RPT's charge about $
