[Files] Fw: 6 pictures for you

All that stuff can happen no matter if you bring it to pitch or 100c flat.
So give the disclaimer then simplify the question to "do you still want me
to tune it?"

Hi Tom,

Just use the standard warning. "It is possible, when an instrument is this
flat that the metal plate may fail, or that strings may snap due to metal
fatigue. Strings can be replaced, but the cost of repairing the plate would
exceed the fair market value of the piano." Then ask "Do you wish to have
the piano brought up to pitch?" Shut up and wait for a yes or a no.
