---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Roger, Yes, if I felt lowering the pitch was necessary as a separate pass, I would charge, but in most cases I would do as you say you do. I think it's been referred to as "floating the pitch." Little story: In March 1998 I gave a brand new studio piano what was probably its very first tuning after leaving the factory. The leave them sharp, don't they? Even though this was during a season when pianos in this area are usually at their flattest, it was up to 48c sharp. I left it 10c sharp, since it was new and likely to drop in pitch anyway. Five months later it was to 25c sharp, and I again left it 10c sharp because now we were in the most humid part of the year. Six months later it was to 12c flat, and I felt vindicated. Of course I know it needs humidity control. Some clients just won't listen.
