Dropping the tension and dressing the bar is usually a half days work. In most cases, to do only one one two notes, tends to make the others sound out of kelter. If you are talking about a new piano, a different story, the noise is probably a fault with a poorly dressed bar. If the piano has a lot of noise in this area, I also recommend restringing the treble section, Having said this, if the customer expects to be paying for a tuning, and they are hit with 1/2 a days labour, in most cases they will rechedule or do nothing. > > >The glue is a band aid, > > that buys some time, so that a) you can reschedule . > > Why would you put a band aid on something to buy time, to do the correct > repair.

If so, then I repeat.....no problems! ;~} I see, you use the same technique.
