---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment List, For those who may think that a few cents change in pitch should be charged extra for because it may take 2 passes to get a stable tuning, today, I tuned an 1897 open face pinblock Hinze upright which had last been tuned in February, 2001 at 440. Today, A4 spun the lights up to +55 cents. I did this job for the local dealer I regularly to contract work for. I remember the piano from past years, finding it ridiculously flat, all flanges rattling and hammers needing alignment during a winter tuning appointment. This dealer keeps a ongoing computer record which I read and noted that another tech had also tightened all flanges in winter, 1999. A year ago, September 2000, the pitch had been lowered 53 cents to 440. Today, I "floated" the pitch, as they say, at +50 cents. The customer remarked when I finished at how nice it sounded. I collected the fee but said nothing else at all about anything. Why bother?
