Which is why I always explain to a caller that if the piano is up or near standard pitch, my $95 tuning fee covers what I need to do regarding tuning. But if the piano is significantly below standard pitch, then we will have to do a separate proceedure called a pitch raise to get the piano up to standard pitch before I can tune it. My fee for a pitch raise is $45 - but, of course, only if your piano needs it. I approach this statement by asking how long it has been since the last tuning...... (Yeah, yeah, I know - but this is how I present my tuning fee structure to a caller. That way, no surprises come appointment day.......
