<HTML><HTML>Greetings,             Is one wa= y of doing business for some tuners to just tune the piano "where it is"? In= other words, they check the A and if its close enough (or even if its not c= lose to 440 ) just tune the piano so that it is in tune with itself???            And even going = further, If they have a regular client, such as a church, to do the above me= ntioned thing, cleaning up unisons (so as to do a "bang-up" tuning) and then= , on every 4th tuning or so pull it back up to A440 or alittle above, so the= y are set up to repeat the whole process, thereby saving themselves some tim= e on intermittent tunings, yet leaving the customer believing that they are = receiving an A440 tuning each and every time...when they aren't receiving a = true tuning (as far as proper pitch goes) each and every time??             Not that = I would do such a thing in my practice. I do not condone it either. I think = it is dishonest. My question is do some tooners do this?? is it possible? <B= R>     Julia Reading, PA </HTML>
