First you need to straighten the strings from = the hitch pin to the bridge. Hope they did that at the factory but don't = count on it. Space the strings. Pull a note up to pitch + 10 and with = your brass rod put the kink in the string on both sides of the bridge = and at the capo bar. Then straighten the coil. Measure the pitch of the = note and tell the owner that has to be done to every string. Probably = the note dropped 25 cents and you're lucky. If it didn't drop (pick a = likely looking string) the owner is lucky and tell her she just needs = one of your tunings and the thing will be fine. Of course if it drops 50 = cents it is going to take an extra hour. I figure two hours minimum just = to get to a two pass tuning. Pull the piano sharp based on how much the = strings dropped when settling. Pull the action and do the settling. Make = a pass and play the thing hard for a few minutes. Be sure you tightened = any bass strings that might need it. Tune it. Schedule the next tuning = in 3 months. Add some voicing. If she thinks she can get the other guy = to do all that, get out of there quick.
