The last  time I rented a shop for piano work, I paid close to $700/mo.  
That  didn't include electricity, heat or ac.  

Another  option is to build a shop.  If you can build on to your home or  
build a separate workshop on your own property, that would be one  
possibility.  It doesn't have to cost a fortune if you can do the work  yourself. 

If you can do it yourself and can pay for  the materials as you go, you 
have a huge advantage,... NO PAYMENTS!!  Not  all would agree that being debt 
free is the way to go, but it sure saves a lot  of worries when the work is a 
little  thin.

FWIW...

So with the partner gone, and the loss of the Pianodisc business, he is
 asking a minimum of $300 / month - - - too rich for my blood.

$300 a month is too much to pay for shop rent?  That's a bargain. If  you 
have as much business as you claim you have, that money will be earned in  a 
day. Something else is going on here.

 Well, it looks like I'm going to have to go there.
 
 The same tech that - was - doing Pianodisc installations also had a
 partner tech. Something happened between them and the partner is gone.
 
 So with the partner gone, and the loss of the Pianodisc business, he is
 asking a minimum of $300 / month - - - too rich for my blood.
 
 Previously, another tech was selling used pianos - until - he lost his
 lease and the landlord wanted to gouge the price of rent - so after many
 years in business, he folded the business - however he is still "teching".
 
 Finally, the last, current, opportunity would be a - daily - 100 mile -
 round - trip - - - gas prices.
