PTG standards for pitch raises.

[James Gebe]

Hi Bill,
This is how I treat pitch raises.
I write and publish my own brochures on piano maintenance and tech topics
with one being just on pitch raising.
This brochure states:
changing pitch between 10 and 20 c tune again in 2 months.
changing pitch between 20 and 25c tune again in 1 month.
Anything over 25c tune in 2 weeks and then 3 months..
A normal tuning to me is change of 10c or less.
I charge the same amount whether  a pitch raise or not as it takes the same
amount of time ( 1 hour).  I charge $75 for new clients.  . Because I have
everything written in my brochure my story stays the same.  The client makes
the choice of whether to raise to A-440 or not.
I NEVER charge more for tuning, I just bunch them up for tuning
