[pianotech] "premium" vs. price

[Norm Barrett]

Terry,
Your post reminds me of the time a piano sales manager was complaining 
about pitch corrections. To demonstrate the fact that changing the pitch 
on one string affects nearby strings, I carefully tuned one string to 
stop the spinning on an ETD. I then moved the tuning lever 2 pins away 
from the tuned string and lowered the pitch about a third of a turn.. 
The look on his face was priceless when the tuned string went SHARP. I 
think that he now understands that changing the tension on strings does 
affect other strings aroud them.
