> Hi All,
> 	Just a thought on those who tell the client to tune it again after a
pitch
> raise when it sounds "funny" to them.  If it hardly bothered them when it
> was 50c flat, how are they going to know when it has drifted 5 to 10c
flat?
>  It takes more than one time of tuning to pitch to get them to know and
> appreciate what at pitch really is., INMH.  The way I know it is going to
> stay where I put it is to follow up in 2 weeks, "my decision" not theirs.

> I am trying to establish their mode of behavior.
> Here are my guidelines:
> 0 to -10c 			6 months
> -10 to -20c			2 months
> -20c to -25c		1 month
> >-25c			2 weeks, then 3 months
> Works for me as I know your methods work for you.
