August meeting

Tuesday AUG 12
The Music Exchange, 2245 Arden Way, Sacramento (916) 641-5855

The Other Kind of Cents
--and Hopefully Dollars
One of the most frequently asked questions brought up by technicians is “How Much Should I Charge?” While we can’t discuss rates per se Dan Dannenfelser will present one method you can use to build your rates from the ground up. In addition to sharing his personal experiences Dan will present a summary of the results of the email survey he sent out to Chapter members in July. This is good stuff for new members, and a great opportunity for veterans to share their perspective.

RPT Classes: 4:00: Removing and reinstalling the upright action and keys 5:00: Tuning: Working on unisons. 6:00: ‘Hanger Talk’; refreshments. (A good time for ‘newbies’ to come.) 6:30: Closed business meeting (chapter members only): the Programs Committee. 7:00: ‘Quik Snak’ 7:15 Technical presentation/discussion. 9:00 Lights out.

Next month: Tuesday Night at the Movies (TUE SEP 9): “Note by Note: The Making of Steinway L1037”
