Jim,

Have you had any discussion or requests for a higher pitch for 
performers
from Europe or South America?   When the Society came to Madison we
tuned one piano in the concert hall and one rehearsal piano at the 
higher
pitch of 443 .   They were ready when requested.   Albeit  our #1 piano 
was not
changed, but #2 was changed.

My experience was that a good piano is very important for the 
accompanying as well
as a good harpsichord.   You are working with a very sensitive group of 
musicians.
They know pitch and good sound.   A compliment from this group should be
laminated and hung on your wall.  Jim,  you have a  rare opportunity 
for work with some
of the World's finest.
