A 51 cent pitch raise and tuning requiring 3 1/2 hours?! I don't know who Joe
Garrett is but I would say he could stand to hone his skills a bit, learn to
work more efficiently, or stop day dreaming on the job.

And if I multiplied 3 1/2 times my hourly fee, the above tuning with a 1/4
step pitch raise would cost my customer over $200.

If I was her husband, I wouldn't let me back in the house either.
