The very first private tuning job I had (while I was still in Ted Sambell's course) was a big old upright way out in the country, painted aqua. Most of it was a perfect fourth flat. I carefully raised it a half step at a time, in two visits. Nothing broke. I tuned it two or three more times before I moved away. It was even stable. I tuned a big upright piano (pretty thing) locally which was about a minor third flat, like the one Del tuned. It had last been tuned in 1938. The 85 year old lady knew that, because her family had owned it the whole time. She wanted to send it to her daughter in the Southwest, and she wanted to be sure it was going to hold up okay. It did beautifully. Susan Kline -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://ptg.org/pipermail/caut.php/attachments/20101210/0e43c537/attachment.htm>
