Hi All, Just wondering if... The top note on a piano is only about 4000 hertz (cycles per second). If you can not hear this you are probably profoundly deaf. Standard hearing test only go to 6000 hertz. I believe something else is going on. I think many tuners get frustrated with fin ding neglected pianos and so overcompensate at the top. This seems to be habit forming and each time the top end gets raised some more. I have followed a tuner (the father of one of my clients) where A440 (and the rest of the piano) was 100 cents sharp. N eedless to say it took a lot of time to become stable at A440. Regards, Don Rose drose@sask.maple.net
