HI Chuck, THanks for the note, and I appreciate what you posted. I tune for a piaon mover who simply tells me to just tune the piano and "top it off" which means don't worry about bringing it to pitch because most customers won't know. I do the pitch raise anyway and a few extra things like dust off some of the inside of the piano, adjust pedals when needed, and customers are thrilled. Two hours or a little more including taking the piano apart and putting it together again. Two hours to complete a tuning is not bad at all, either, at this stage in your career. I still take a full hour to tune a piano, and I'm in my 4th decade of tuning. It will speed up, but don't try to hurry it. You want to give the customer a tuning they are happy with, not just one that you make the most money for the least amount of time Thanks again Chuck.
