Dear Friends, In past years I have attempted to tune pianos in the colleges I tune for to A-440 each tuning. This has caused me extra work (usually unpaid), and mental stress. This year I have floated pitch on every piano I have tuned, and I feel so much happier! No one has complained about the pianos being at A-442 or A-443, and the pianos are behaving better. When the temperature is 72 Fahrenheit, and the relative humidity is 83% indoors in the music building, floating pitch is the only way to go. Thanks to Kent Swafford, I have finally seen the light!
