BB>Barb Barasa Last year the Oregon Symphony asked me to tune the piano to 443 because the feature was a marimba tuned to 443. Although the piano was in tune, it sure sounded different. The piano professors at the University did not like like this and really got on me for agreeing to do this at all (I did have permission from the head of the dept). My mistake was not retuning to 440 right after the concert before anyone else could play it at the wrong pitch. A word to the wise.... Bill Stratton RPT Salem, Or --- þ SLMR 2.1a þ
