[pianotech] Lost Business

[David Stocker]

Firstly, the exchange rate makes that about $200; secondly, it can vary 
wildly by region etc. A house that sells for $50k in one part of the country 
may sell for $500k in another.

Here in the Pacific Northwest many are between $75 and $100 per hour; some 
more, some less.

By the time I charge for a tune and a pitch raise, it's in the neighborhood.
