Glenn, Thank you for your questions and advice. Being the only tuner in my area who uses an etd can be a lonely existance, especially when I have questions about proper procedure. Without going into great detail, I will tell you that I have done 1 pass tunings that were a pitch raise and they were fine with just the one pass. I think that the heat being turned on that day WAS a factor in this particular piano in it's beginning to go flat so quickly. When a client has no good place to put their piano, ie: on an inner wall, not by heat ducts, etc, the tuner is at the mercy of the changing environment. The message I received from some of you was yes, I did what I could, and from others was no, I didn't. Thanks to all who have and will respond to my question. I was not looking for absolution for shoddy work, but some reassurance that I was at least heading in the right direction.

I am assuming by your first post and your answer here that you did a ONE pass tuning. If you did not do TWO tunings then that is why it went flat. >>
