    I have been considering going to a sliding scale for my fees.  So if my normal fee would be $200 and corporate CEOs are making 400 times their average workers I would charge them $80,000 for a tuning.  But I would probably throw in the voicing just so they wouldn't feel taken advantage of.  Seems fair.

    LOL!  I would be happy tuning 2 times a year for that price, but think what you could really make even with 2 per week and then a lot of time on the golf course :>)

    Well price gouging is illegal. But if you live in a big city where human fecal matter on a sidewalk is ok, you probably could get away with it.

    I don't charge well-to-do customers more than others. They just do not qualify for a discount.  :-)
