Amen, amen....I have never understood the idea of a freebie. You put  
your lever on every pin, and tune.  Your mind can play amazing tricks  
on you: "yup, this is in tune, it's OK,  I'm in a hurry, sounds good,  
whatever....."

Craftsmen do quality work---all the way through to the end.  I'm  
confessing that, left to my own devices, I'm lazy.
So doing my best on every single tuning is a long-standing habit that  
keeps me safe from my own slacker tendencies.
And it's worked out pretty good for me. <g>
