A-440, ethics AND the bod

[Bob Hull]

Question for clarification:
Doesn't anything more than 2 cents off require two
passes anyway?  But you wouldn't call a 3 or 4 cent
change a pitch raise would you?  So, how many cents
off does something have to be before you call it a
pitch raise or pitch correction?  Normally, I don't
charge extra unless it is at least about 8, 10 or more
cents off of 440.  The crazy thing about this is that
either way I'm still going through all of the pins
twice. The only difference is that on a pitch raise
I'll have a few pins to touch up after the second pass
and I charge extra.  But, I'm doing the same amount of
work.    Is this different than your SOP?
