If one raises pitch 1/2 tone to A440, how much tension is added to the frame, either in percentage or pounds? I successfully carried this out yesterday on a Dominion (circa 1910) which showed signs of structural weakness with the treble pin block having pulled slightly forward. Just wondered how much extra stress I had caused. Tuning is scheduled in four weeks. John Lillico, RPT, Oakville, ON
