Tooners

"...and find the darn thing is 60 cents FLAT...by that reellllly burns me up!"

Burns you up? Brings a smile to my face. I usually say quietly to myself "cha-ching!" and inform the piano owner that the piano will require a pitch raise prior to tuning. Of course, when we initially booked the appointment, I had described what a pitch adjustment is and that it is possible that their piano may need a pitch adjustment - can't really say until I listen to the piano.

            Has notheing to do with if you play or not ....Here's my definintion....its when you go to some customer's pianos and they tell you that they have had them tuned every year (or two) and the piano is pretty well in tune proportionally, as far as octaves go, and not terribly horrible unisons (or just getting horrible), then you strike the fork and fine the darn thing is 60 cents FLAT...by that reellllly burns me up! If I look at the bridges and feel the tuning pin torque, and they are bad i.e. loose, super cracked bridges, I can somewhat forgive it, but more times than not, there's just no excuse. 
  Then I can tell it was tooned by a tooner
