"...anything over 25% low is a pitch raise now."
 
25% of what? And a pitch raise now - as opposed to some other=
 time? I don't understand.

Hi Doug,
Yes, do go back and touch up the tuning.  Always explain before a=
 pitch raise that it is just the first of several tunings to=
 raise the pitch and stabilize the tuning.  Myself, I tell them=
 on anything over 25% low is a pitch raise now.  Another tuning=
 in 2 weeks and then in 3 months.  I do not do a pitch raise=
 unless they thoroughly understand this.  I write my own=
 brochures and it explains all about the peculiarities of a pitch=
 raised piano and the expectations of such.  You will learn how=
 to be firm and exude confidence in your words with time and will=
 come to not be afraid to speak your truth of pianos and why they=
 go out of tune.
