How refreshing to read the truth about our work. Tuning is not only an individual task by the technician, but indeed, is very much like the hair cut mentioned. One can be up to the alto section and discover that there is a slight movement in the octave below you are tuning to. You can set the pin perfectly,(in your opinion) and still get some movement. This is not an exact science, and fortunately most people don't notice a slight wow in a unison. To those clients that do pick it up, I refer them to other stringed instruments such as violins etc., and suggest that they observe how many times they are tuned between sets in an orchestra, and they have only four strings!!
