JT:

"Speaking of tuning records, do any of you use the PTG tuning records?
Do you find that clients apparently don't like them and they're rarely
there when you go back?  Is it because they are so large?"

In my experience, with people I don't see on a regular basis, it is "rogue" 
technicians who remove them.

Btw, I had a similar experience recently.  My tuner got inadvertantly set a 
bit sharp, so I tuned the piano to (approximately) A443, and then realized 
my mistake.  I told the customer, and he wasn't upset; in fact, when he 
tried playing it, he gave me a strange look and opined that "the piano has 
never sounded so good," and declined my offer to lower the pitch (I actually 
tuned it twice to get it good at that pitch...also at the end of a too-long 
day).

Now I wonder if he'll ever let me bring back to 440.  Go figure.
