Hi Keith,
It wasn't exactly, but turns out that it is anyway. This speaks nicely to
the point I was trying to make. For a single pass tuner, at some general
point of pitch deviation a preliminary pass will be necessary to produce an
acceptable tuning. This costs more time because the tuner must go over the
piano twice. This applies to both ETD and aural. For the habitual two pass
tuner using an ETD, there shouldn't be a significant difference in time
spent between a first pass on an "at pitch" piano, and one that's 15 cents
off, so there doesn't seem to be much justification for pitch adjustment
charges from two pass ETD users unless, Like John M and Ron K said, it's
WAY off and requires a third pass. Then there's Terry, who just might be
working too hard. I'll have to check back with him in a couple of years
when his schedule fills up and get an update.
