Good policy!, 
      One question though,  how do you handle the varied requests for
different levels of brightness that every artist wants?  Seems like you
can only prick, file, juice, squeez hammers so much before they die.  I
have yet to see a piano faculty agree, let alone visiting artists.  IMHO
this is a much bigger problem than the occasional non A-440 pitch
request.
