Mac Frampton

[Ray T. Bentley]

I have received a request from Mac Frampton to tune the Steinway D with
no stretch in the upper registers so it will be in tune with a
synthesizer.  Has anyone on this list tuned for him?  Can you tell me if
you had a similar request, and how you dealt with it.  I sent an e mail
to his agent just now, but thought someone on the list might have a
better answer than I may get from the agent.
 
I usually tune this piano with a lot of stretch (7 or 8 on RCT) for
concerts.  I'm thinking it will sound pretty dead with no stretch.  Can
anyone give me some direction here?  The concert is coming up this
Sunday, Nov. 9.
 
Thanks!
 
Ray
