>...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.... >Ron N Ron, List, Not certain if this is what you're looking to read, but here goes. When I charge additional for a pitch change, I don't make the determination in terms of cents deviation, but in how many passes it takes to accomplish what I and the customer basically come to understand what a satisfactory end result is desired/capable given the circumstances that exist. If it takes one pass to do that, it's a tuning pass. If it takes two passes, it is then a pitch change/correction pass, and the a tuning pass. If it takes three passes, it then is a major pitch/change/correction (requiring two passes), and then a tuning pass. That's how I justify additional charges, since each step does require more professional time of me. Keith McGavern Registered Piano Technician Oklahoma Chapter 731 Piano Technicians Guild USA
