Terry Farrell Greetings,=20 In Feb '04 I tuned two church pianos that were below = pitch. They were down at about A430 or less. After I was done they were = A440. I did pitch raises. This year, I went back and found that both = pianos were about 10 cycles sharp...and this is February...the heat has = been on for 4+ months the things should be flat, if anything, right? But = nooo.... they're sharp.=20 On the first piano, (a Kawaii studio upright) I thought: = "Ok this is in a basement (choir rehearsal room) and it could be that = moisture absorbed into the thing and so it's sharp". However, when I got = upstairs to the sanctuary ( a Steinway console) piano, its even = sharper(!) (about 3 cycles sharper than the one in the basement) and a = little business card of another tuner is in there; a date on it reads:=20 8-9-04 A440...along with a list of other dates that indicated that = they were tuned twice a year by this tuner. (That card with dates was in = there last February too). I am a stickler for A440 so today I took each of the = pianos and made them A4440 again. My question is: WHY? Why were these = pianos so ***@#$*#$%^% sharp!!!?? Could it be that the other tuner turned them up in August 04 after I = was there in Feb '04? The story was when I was called in that were = tuned regularly by this other tuner, (the card indicated such) Yet, the = pianos were so flat when I was called in, in Feb '04 that I had to pull = them both up....what gives????
