Much of it is kind of "reverse well" that has been talked about ad nauseam. The C-E third is wider than ET and F#-A# is narrower. Others kind of fit in between. =20 If the pianist is happy, that's the name of the game. I probably would have just gone for a regular tuning, and only adjusted the pitch from 440 by enough to match the Harmonium. Of course, when there is that much variance, how do you "match" the Harmonium? =20 Again, if the customer is happy, it sounds like you did the right thing. dave >pianotech list info: https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives _____________________________ David M.
