ethics thing

[John Ross]

Anytime I consider the piano not worth tuning, I just charge for a service call.
That is of course after informing them, why.  I would also explain the options, if any, and what the costs would be.

  Gee, I don't know... Perhaps I am reading too much into this, but if I am called to tune a piano and my opinion is that the client is wasting their money, then I believe it is my responsibility, morally and under the PTG ethics guidelines, to share that opinion with the owner and NOT keep it to myself...

  The argument: "I was just doing my job as I was told" has in the past been a defense/excuse for a lot of bad things....

    If all you were asked to do is tune it, and not give an appraisal of the piano, or were asked your opinion about the condition of the piano, then you should just do what you were hired to do, and keep you opinions to yourself.
