Hi Everyone,

When I approach a piano tha tis too sharp or flat instinct kicks in and I'm ready to correct it, but my problem is this. The school district has to have it approved before they'll pay for it.  The thing is then , should I just tune it to itself and then go back and correct it later?  I've already had to fix two and yesterday a third one that was a half tone sharp roughly.  I only have time for two passes since there are so many pianos to get doe by next month.  So any of you out there who tune for school, what is yoru approach?  It was so engrained in us to correct pitch at the Piano Hospital, that I cannot think any othe way.  each time we'd tue a pinao we were asked, "Was it on pitch?"  "Well. no" "Did you do a pitch raise?" Ahh "if a piano is not at pitch alwas do a pitch raise or lowering."  well not those exact words but you get the picture.  So here I am at a slight dilemma. When I get the check after these tunings, I'llbe happy I had the dilemma. :-)  Thanks everyone.
