Pitch raise (was price shoppers)

Hmmn yes....My computer tells me that most of my clients have not had their
pianos tuned since the turn of the century!!!

The last pitch raise I performed, the customer wanted to deduct the price of
the cup of tea he gave me having informed him of the extra charges; which is
why I tend to decline such offers these days, both for the sake of not being
ingratiated and saving yourself from having to run off somewhere every 5
minutes. Customer's tea of coffee mostly tastes ghastly I find.
