My best guess is it should do just fine. I had to tune a piano to A-415 for a Handel choir number and after they were finished with it bringing it back up was very easy. I did one pass 25-cents sharp then just tuned. It was very stable. I got to thinking afterward that when we normally do the "100-cent" pitch raise it ranges from 60-cents flat to 130-cents flat so the end result is not so good. But this was very together at 101.27-cents flat so it came out very well. I'll bet this will only take a normal pitch drop and tuning to bring it back. dp PS We're looking at your dean and he's looking at us today and tomorrow. We'll see what happens. __________________________ David M.

Can anyone who has done this before give me some idea of what I'm in for besides the destabilization factor. I'm going to use a Baldwin M we usually let people use for prepared piano stuff.
