Okay, I'll bite ................

Please elaborate on this magical "normal" tuning in 20 minutes.

That means for each - note - *not strings* - only .227~ minutes per note
or 13~ seconds per note

Does this include unisons ?

Includes mutes, strip mute - what ?

On the retuning in 40 minutes.

That means for each - note - *not strings* - only .454~ minutes per note
or 27~ seconds per note

Includes mutes, strip mute - what / all necessary aural checks ?

Does this include unisons ?

Sounds - too - fast - to - me !!!

Or this is a repeat customer which has had the piano tuned recently.
