[pianotech] shorter final tuning time with pitch raises; forearm smash

[Gerald Groot]

Agreed.  Like people telling us that the piano was tuned to sharp or to flat.  Sure…   The customer is not always right.

David,
  -This is an old adage but when a client complains about the last tuner  you are likely to be the next one under criticism

   I wouldn't  adjust my tuning methods to meet a clients preconceived notions of "correct" technique . The stability of the tuning is the goal and you are the expert.   It reminds me of  the football coach who said:
      " When you make decisions to please the fans you will soon be sitting with them "
