Phil

Yes, a piano can be tuned in a half an hour. I do it all the time. I think 
the problem is the return call. If I am called back within a week or so, 
because the customer had a complaint about the tuning, I do so with a 
positive attitude, not begrudgingly. I know I'm not perfect, and do sometimes 
get in a hurry and miss a note. It sounds like this time, the previous tuner 
strip muted the piano, and forgot to tune the third string.
