Take a deep breath. <Norwegian G> You have to learn to take things written in the spur of the moment, as many things are here, with a grain of salt. I´ll just get straight to the point. My pitch raises are good. I believe that I am a good tuner, and that most of my tunings, if done on an instrument that permits it, can pass the PTG test easily, although I haven´t tried that given my location. Heck, I´ll send you a CD with my tuning if you want. It´s also difficult to know what other peoples´ standards are. My pitch raises might be a heck of a lot better than many others´, and that little comment I made was something that I shouldn´t have done in writing I guess. It´s something one should discuss face to face, and sometimes I substitute that with these list discussions. But sure, I can see your point; a young guy out in nowhere does dirt rotten pitch raises unbeknownst to his customers to cover his a little bit less rotten tunings, kind of amusing, really, but understandable seeing as we have no reference. I assure you this is not the case. Hope this is cleared up, I have to go tune for the Reykjavík conservatory, and they can count on me. And this isn´t the first time I work for them :) Best regards, Kristinn Leifsson, Reykjavík, Iceland P.S. How´s the weather in Phoenix?
