I also was wondering about pitch on a couple of older pianos, specifically, an 1865 Steinway 7'4" and a Viennese grand from before 1900 which I might be asked to rescale. I remember reading that Steinway used a VERY high pitch sometime in the 19th C., which might help explain some of the old scales, but I don't remember where I was reading it, and would like to have some confirmation.
