<< 
 If your customer only wants to pay for a tuning, give them the option of
 tuning the piano low, then find the lowest part of the scale and drop the
rest
 down to that level.
 
 I feel that it is important to warn any customer with a piano like this,
 especially if it is low, that string breakage is a real possibility, and that
 they will have to bear the cost of replacement, and then tell them how much
 that would be per string. >>

But if you do tune it "where it's at" be certain to leave a note inside the
piano for the next tuner.  Mention what you did and why.  Then thirty years
down the road when their grandchildren have the piano tuned, the next
technician will not be caught offguard.
