[pianotech] Cracked Ivory heads...was "a first for me"

[pgmilkie at juno.com]

If you figure the cost to repair at $100.00 per key, it would be around $5,000.00 to repair the keys on this piano as almost all of them have fine cracks

Have you mentioned these numbers to your customer?

I've done this type of repair previously. I think your time estimate is much higher than required - maybe more like 25% of that.Terry Farrell

You hit the nail on the head about clean hands.  And what is more interesting, this customer is in "Health Services".  You would think they would be more conscious about cleanliness. Ken
