Treble tuning for elderly clients

One word of caution: I worked very hard to clean up a really lousy, noisy treble on a Baldwin console. The lady called me back, unsatisfied. (Pleased to say it's a very rare event.) I went back and it sounded aok to me. She claims I killed the tone of her piano and ruined the sound. Hasn't had me back, either.

Some times, we can be too smart by half. Maybe we shouldn't be afraid to interview the clients more thoroughly as to their preferences, what they hear, what bugs them, etc., rather than just tuning the piano the way we like it.
