Re: Fowler Music Service: a horrific, unspeakable experience

I must be missing something here. Why on Earth would you prepay the work? Any repairman has an effective lien on the instrument by virtue of having it in their possession to guarantee payment. It isn't just a matter of getting the work completed at all, but completed to your satisfaction. Would you give a general contractor 100% down to build an addition on your house up front? At the absolute most I would give 1/3 down.

Sounds like he is pretty far over his skis in terms of workload (success breeding disaster) and his business is going to self destruct because he didn't control growth. A most regrettable incident, but interestingly Mr. Fowler sounds about as reliable as a lot of musicians. Bands don't get paid 100% before the gig for obvious reasons. I would have applied the same logic here so I retained some leverage in the transaction.
