[pianotech] no cash flow

[Gene Nelson]

This would be good if I was close to the place. As it is a 2+ hour drive, my services were more than a tuning (took up an entire day) and I do not want clients in that area because I am not willing to drive there on a regular basis I cannot see the value in it. I don't care about the income range of those who might read my name on some symphony hand out as none of them will be a client.
This is looking more and more like a chartable contribution that I am being forced to give. Maybe I can use it as a tax write off - there is at least some value in that.

  Since I'm not a regular symphony attendee, I'm not all that familiar with how the playbill is written or what is normally in it.  But if you have the opportunity to put your name in front of a few hundred or even a few thousand people for the price of a tuning, that may be a rather target rich audience for your advertising.  
   
  The few times I was sitting, waiting for a concert to begin, I often found myself reading whatever I had available, even if I had almost no interest, simply to occupy my thoughts with something other than nothing.  
   
  Might end up being a win/win for both of you.  Saves them money, provides you advertising.  You'd just want to work out ahead of time what work equates with what advertising to make it at least approach equitable in appearance.  
   
  Best of luck,

  Take it out in trade! Get tickets to the symphony or an ad in the playbill in lieu of payment.
