Hi all, For your amusement, following is an emailed inquiry I received today: We would appreciate your opinion on some advice we have received from Richard Hutton at Crown Relocations. The following is what Richard told us: I have found some information regarding your parents piano. If they contact a member of the 'Piano Tuners and Technicians Guild' (this link will list those members in NM < http://www.ptg.org/findATechnician-showRPT.php?State=NM&Sort=zip >). Ask the piano tuner to then make a note of the 'pitch' of the piano (in it's current setting) and then to 'drop the pitch' - this is loosening the strings. The when the piano arrives here in NZ you can have a piano tuner re-set the 'pitch' back to it's original setting. I've heard of using "original parts," but reverting to "original pitch" is a new one on me <G>. So that's what I've been missing all these years! It does show that the Piano Page gets used, even internationally. Maybe we're making some progress.
