Hi Bill, Ah I see, Piano Tuning is one of the "dark arts", a witches brew that only the sacrosanct and initiated have any hope of understanding. These "secrets" should be jealously guarded! No need to inform the client of anything but the price--and the only reason to do that is because you wish to be paid. How silly of me to explain to my clients that their piano may sound better in a Historic temperament and offer them a choice. I've changed the thread title--as this has nada to do with the original topic.

The point is that your insistence on this "full disclosure" malarkey, something entirely made up in your own mind, would not have merely been inappropriate, it would have been counterproductive and downright absurd. Do all the people who tune Reverse Well as their own personal alternative to ET *fully disclose* that fact? Are *all* of your tunings really *equal*, *all* the time? When they aren't, do you *fully disclose* that fact? Piano tuning is an art. Therefore, certain information can and should remain confidential, subject to the discretion of the professional piano technician. If you think there should be some kind of rule about this, then try to get it passed through council. It would never happen because it is an absurd idea. So absurd, that if it ever did happen, I would proudly be the very first person to violate it.
