Cents: was help with bad tuning...

[John Ross]

Sounds like overkill to me.
None of my customers require anything approaching that exactness.
In this area the piano varies in pitch from month to month. I haven't 
measured it, but I know from Jan. to Sept. some areas are off by 30c.
So I am sure it could vary from some week to week by 5c, so why would I even 
contemplate a pitch raise for 5c.
20c plus maybe, and then only depending on the situation, as the majority of 
my customers value their money more than a supposed required pitch raise.
A lot of them wait 2 or 3 years between tunings anyway.
I guess what I am trying to say, is not all customers need a pitch raise, 
for the amounts some of you say.
