That's pretty much like what I've been reading, which is why I asked. >I seriously thought about just raising my rates and just giving a discount >for pianos close to pitch.

Maybe I'll just raise my rates and leave it at that! > >Ron Koval Ah yes, that would be my other question about how one determines how much of a pitch correction is necessary when prorating from cents deviation. You don't seem to fit the profile, since you are apparently doing what I asked why people weren't doing, so just keep doing what you're doing if it's working, and it makes sense to me, but thanks for the response.
