[pianotech] Pitch Raise comments in PTJ

[Ron Koval]

I'm with David Love on this one...
"My basic fee covers a pitch correction (15 extra
minutes).  A tuning with pitch correction takes an hour."

Here in the midwest, just about every tuning requires over or under pull to finish at pitch.  
New clients are told that if it's been a long time since the last tuning, it may require
a little extra time (money) to get it back to standard pitch. (over 50 cents or so...)

The modern tuning gear does such a good job at calculating an overpull to leave the piano ready
for a second pass.
