what would you do.

Today I tuned a piano which the owner said was tuned two weeks ago, but
sounded badly.  The former tuner, listed in Chinese Yellow Pages (huge
Chinese population here in Houston), left a mute in the piano, a phillips
screwdrever, and screwed about with the fallboard.   The piano was from zero
to 60 cents flat, 15-25 in the first five octaves, and about 25-40 in the
last two.  Amazing.  It was a pretty tough-to-tune LaPetite Kimball baby
grand, however NOT untuneable in any way. Pins were very "Kimball-esque"-
tight and consistent.    Would you have charged these folks for the pitch
raise, having already paid for something they obviously "didn't get"?
