Joe, You are absolutely correct. Although I didn't mention it, one of the first questions I ask the owners of an old beater piano on a first-time call is if it will be played with anything else. If a technician just tunes a piano flat without saying anything, and the client discovers that the tuning is therefore unsatisfactory, there's going to be some sparks. Sometimes clients just need a little education. I remember one who had to be taught about transposing instruments. I think they were a little disappointed, but hey -- life is life.
