Regulation

[paul bruesch]

The Randy Potter course (which your website says you took) has a regulation
checklist. At the end of the checklist is a list of suggested item numbers
to do for a "quick regulation." And of course remember to iterate thru (I
mean through) the items as one thing changes another changes another.

Not having any real-world experience with regulating when I "sold" my first
few regulation jobs, I offered to do them free. I knew the customer would
have an improved piano and I would have the real experience. This is exactly
the same thing most of us do when we start tuning. I didn't feel right about
charging $400 or more for an amateur job, which is what I (correctly)
figured I would produce. Again, I made significant improvements, but the
pianos were not ready for the concert stage.
