hi will i think though for me it is well worth it as i can see where my train is or when i am out piano tuning i can look at diferent stations to find the best train if you try and ring up you never get through nowadays. i am a great believer than paying for something as i think then you should get better value. someone asked me to tune his piano and when i told him my price he said the last time he used a tuner who only charged him £10 but he also broke four strings which he could not replace. ----- source message ----- from: william lomas <lomaswilliam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> to:
