>Not certain if this is what you're looking to read, but here goes. 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. Ron N
