Why then not note it on the bill as "tuned to A440 +3c" and the average =
Joe will be none the wiser.

  "...lands at +3cents, I notate that on my "tuning record" card AND the =
bill."

  Yeah, so do I. And in this case I would note A441 - for the average =
Joe......   ;-)

    Terry,
    There ya go again! Using my name, (and Goss'), in vain! TSK!
    I do things a bit different. I usually am shooting to 440cps, dead =
on. However, we all know the darned things don't cooperate. If the final =
pitch, (AND I hope ALL of you check the pitch when you are Done!), lands =
at +3cents, I notate that on my "tuning record" card AND the bill. This =
information also goes into the client's data base, for future reference. =
(the darned cards grow legs!) Also, I note the temperature at the time =
of the tuning, so I have an idea what's occured to make the piano sharp =
this time, etc., etc. Works for me & the client(s)
    Best Regards,
