[pianotech] pitch raises

[Dean May]

I think you will find there is no consensus. I used to follow the lead of
the guy who trained me and tell people it had to have a followup tuning in a
month. Actually he would reschedule 2 or 3 appointments after a big pitch
raise. I came to the conclusion he was just milking the ignorance of people.
For many years now I just do a two or three pass tuning and tell the
customer it really needs the 6 month tuning to get it more stable. I tell
them it will be going out before then and if it gets too annoying they can
just call me out sooner- no one ever does. It seems to work okay for me.
YMMV

I'd like to know if there is any consensus about what point in discussing a
pitch raise one tells the client it will not be stable, and will require
another tuning in a day-week-month, or whatever choice people raise.. Would
appreciate feedback. Thanks
