First off I don't want to start a long thread about this. Unless you all are seeing in very very bad shape (worse than what I usually see) pianos. If I see a piano that is really down in pitch, I'll tell the customer than and let them know by bringing it up to pitch (A-440) there may be extra work (broken strings, pin doping, etc) they agree to the terms and I tune it up to pitch. Just me, but I think that is doing a disservice by tuning it at less than A440 (Unless it is really really junk) > I only brought the pitch up to 430Hz for fear of opening a bigger can > of worms with broken strings and even looser pins. I _think_ it will > hold at 430, but at least it was able to be tuned to itself. > > The check will get to the bank today... ;-} -- Duaine Hechler Piano, Player Piano, Organ, Pump Organ Tuning, Servicing & Rebuilding Associate Member of the Piano Technicians Guild Reed Organ Society Member St. Louis, MO 63034 (314) 838-5587 dahechler@charter.net
