Eehhhh I forgot exactly what was said... I AM pooped from tuning. ( You all must be too.) (And from my new bud, Mr. Poop Squirrel.) I use an ( almighty) accu-tun er. - I off-set the bass by 8¢ # - VERY close to where it has trailed off to. (thanx for the Mac ¢ button!!) - I off-set the rest of the piano 5 ¢ FLAT, which after a quick pass brings it all back up to around 8¢ # overall. - I then re-tune the whole thing 8¢ #. This is the rule I use, when the piano is very close to being 442 obviously.. This whole process can be done WHEREVER the piano is "floating", using the same principles. ( I would like to float (SINK!!) half the pianos I work with in the lake nearby, but that is another matter.) Concert/performing instruments and vocal studios are all brought down to 440. I do think that floating pitch is THE RIGHT THING TO DO. This is all PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE baby, and if you don't agree, then you are just plain silly. ('Nuff said.) I do not like squirrel poop on my piano covers. The tech from Normay is a gas.
