Roger, List,

Enjoyed reading this rambling material as I have been going through some
reality adjustments with regards to tuning in general.

Changes occur.  That is the one absolute certainty.

I have, as of lately, come to feel that I no longer can deliver any degree
of accuracy when tuning a piano because of the diverse nature of the beast,
the environments in which it lives and any inadequacies that I have.

I can only deliver, given what I understand to be the best set of
circumstances, along with the most current understanding I have, the
appropriate tools available, my frame of mind; take all this, and whatever
else could be a factor, and apply them to the best of my ability.

The result is what there is

For my customers it is becoming, and most likely always has been, "This is
what you get this time around."

So, does that make one a better tuner or not, neh?

Ah, the fun and games of it all  :-†
