<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Doug,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yes, do go back and touch up the=
tuning. Always explain before a pitch raise that it is=
just the f<STRONG>irst</STRONG> of several tunings to raise the=
pitch and stabilize the tuning. Myself, I tell them on=
anything over 25% low is a pitch raise now. Another tuning=
in 2 weeks and then in 3 months. I do not do a pitch raise=
unless they thoroughly understand this. I write my own=
brochures and it explains all about the peculiarities of a pitch=
raised piano and the expectations of such. You will learn=
how to be firm and exude confidence in your words with time and=
will come to not be afraid to speak your truth of pianos and why=
they go out of tune.</FONT></DIV>
