A-440 and Ethics.

Why? Example: piano is 150 cents flat. I would do two pitch raises, =
getting up to A440. Then I would give it a tuning. I would also explain =
to the owner that the tuning will not be as stable as a tuning on a =
typical piano that had been tuned on a regular basis. However, after a =
couple regular tunings, their piano should achieve relative stability.

  My operation on anything more than -25c is 1st trip raise pitch
  re-tune in 2 weeks, then 3 months.  I put this proposal to them before =
I start and if they agree I do.  If they do not piano stays where it is.

    Yes, except that if it's extremely flat and one doesn't do a normal =
pitch raise=20
    type tuning (pulling it appropriately sharp), you can't do a "fine =
tune" the=20
    second time. Actually, you can't do that at all on the first =
appointment, IMO!
    But yes, a third time might be necessary just to make it =
"reasonably" stable=20
    until the next appointment about 3 months or so later! Less, if =
possible!=20

      Hi Terry,

       "All at once" meaning from however flat it is up to pitch =
followed by a fine tune and then maybe a 3rd pass just to touch up.. all =
the same appointment.
