I tune an old Baldwin console at my church that's like that.  Bouncing
around to different intervals just so I can pick out the beats.  Then
when you're done, it still sounds like a saloon piano from the 1870s,
only louder.

I just sigh, submit my invoice and come back and do again in 6 months.
Most of the time, I'll give the owners an initial estimate to look into
it further and then go from there.
