<DIV>I've seen it said several times that for a tuning fee, there is =
an
allocated time. If tuning doesn't take up the whole time other =
things
(voicing, tighten screws etc.) will be done for that same "tuning =
fee".
However, many say that if they do a pitch raise, still within that =
time frame,
that they charge extra for it. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Why is it that a pitch raise requires the extra charge when =
everything
else done during the allocated time is included in the normal =
charge?
