Boy, and I was worried about the mattress police finding out that I had removed the tags on my mattress. Now I have to worry about the tuning patrol as well!!

Would you need to have a special sticker "affixed", (don't you love that word), showing that you are certified to tune harpsichords? What about repair certifications?
