Greetings, 

            Is one way of doing business for some tuners to just tune the 
piano "where it is"? In other words, they check the A and if its close enough (or 
even if its not close to 440 ) just tune the piano so that it is in tune with 
itself???

           And even going further, If they have a regular client, such as a 
church, to do the above mentioned thing, cleaning up unisons (so as to do a 
"bang-up" tuning) and then, on every 4th tuning or so pull it back up to A440 or 
alittle above, so they are set up to repeat the whole process, thereby saving 
themselves some time on intermittent tunings, yet leaving the customer 
believing that they are receiving an A440 tuning each and every time...when they 
aren't receiving a true tuning (as far as proper pitch goes) each and every time??

            Not that I would do such a thing in my practice. I do not condone 
it either. I think it is dishonest. My question is do some tooners do this?? 
is it possible?
