Hi Bob, SAT III pitch raise program. Cuts tuning time in half. Jeff >At the university where I provide service for fee work, I have just >started my round of tunings for the upcoming second semester. I am >finding the pitch has dropped an unusual amount since the last tuning. >For all but the recital hall pianos, the school asks me to tune once at >the beginning of the first semester and again at the beginning of the >second. The pitch on many of them so far has been close to -16 cents. >(I think the real cold weather we had recently may be the culprit, with >heating units running more and drying things out more.) > > > >Of course this requires at least two full passes and will need a follow up >tuning (which may not be in the budget and therefore may not happen). I >always do two passes anyway even for just a few cents pitch change but >this seems more extreme. How do other service for fee techs handle the >charges on pitch raise situations like this. For my private customers I >charge an extra amount for pitch raises of this nature. > > > >Bob Hull, RPT > > > >Technician for Union University > > > >Jackson, TN > > > >Do you Yahoo!? > <http://rd.yahoo.com/mail/mailsig/*http://mailplus.yahoo.com>Yahoo!
