Hi Clyde, I would treat him ala-Tom Sawyer. That is to say get in the fact that his care for the instrument has not what it should have been. Of course do that politely. If you lose the job you have not lost much and if he does have you work on the instrument there is a greater chance that it may see tunings at more frequent intervals. Although not much of a chance as his past history would indicate Joe goss You know your on the level when your bubble is in the middle.
