OK, John. But a pitch raise of 50-100 cents adds time to my tuning. If it's only 10-15 cents, no big deal...it can be done in one pass. But some pianos are way off and require 2-4 passes of fractions thereof. I charge extra for the extra work. Some folks don't want to pay extra! For these folks, I may raise it 10 cents and that it. I do agree that if it needs to be at pitch, then do it! This nonsense of doing it over several tunings appears to be a way of getting extra tuning jobs.

If a piano is concert pitch-worthy, it will come up to pitch now! I've heard tell of pitch-raising being done "gradually" over a four or five appointment span. Nonsense!
