Go check your work in a month. ETD or not. Just pulling up to pitch will
not last at all. (OKŠSteinway 1098's are excused.)Ha!

Do you mean you don't over pull at all?  Do you get repeat customers?
Just asking. 

Do you do this even when the piano is 100 cents flat?  We need to know
your secret.I would love to know the one time pass technique on one that
flat! Please do tell.
