Actually I think your decision showed good judgement. It's better to tune it
a 1/2 step flat and leave it stable and holding, than to try to raise it
to A-440 and perhaps risk having the plate break again. Bottom line: You did
what you thought was best for ther piano and you left the customer happy.
That's what's important.
