I define a "tuning" as including whatever I think is most urgent, so long as it fits into my basic time (and effort) slot, which is set generously enough that most common details (clean the keys, adjust the pedals, voice that stinking tenor note, get that knob back on, etc.) can be covered. If it's going to take more time and effort than the basic fee includes, we talk about how much to do, and when, and the cost effectiveness of doing or not doing this or that. Just don't keep saying that I "work for free". I don't. It's also very insulting. Susan
