Terry, <<Also, when first checking pitch, if you find that a piano is only 5 or so cents or less in the bass and mid-section, but way flat, say 15+ cents flat in the high treble, do you still charge for a pitch raise? >> On a spinet, I would not charge extra for this, provided I could tune the treble twice in the time allotted for a normal tuning. Spinets do not take as long because they will rarely sound good no matter what you do. :-) Learn to work quickly, and listen less to all the falseness inherent in small, cheap pianos.
