 greatly enjoy witnessing you, or anyone else for that matter, accomplish
 the task of strip muting a piano (2x) and pitch raising a reasonably
 quality piano, say -20 cents or more, in ten (10) minutes or less, as you
 said you do, and then follow up with a 30 minute tuning, without a word
 ever being spoken during the process. >>


Before I get myself into trouble, allow me to explain.  I can do a pitch 
raise in 10 minutes.  That is to get the tension of the piano up to where I 
can do a tuning.  After I do a pitch raise, I spend 45 - 60 minutes tuning 
the piano.

I can also tune a piano in about 30 minutes.  The 30 minute tuning is on a 
piano that is at pitch, or the most 10 cents flat. 

I hope that clarifies my position.
