And besides, couldnīt customers interpret it that way that if itīs ONLY 50 cents flat, itīs not entirely out of tune is it, since out of tune would be 100%? Best regards, Kristinn >> So far, I have never had any one question my explanation. So I guess it isn't misleading. As far as a piano that is on pitch, but out of tune, wouldn't that be only 1% or 2% out of tune? The point is, I think customer can understand and relate to numbers. If you tell them that a "normally" out of tune piano is only 1% -- 10% percentage out of tune, and their piano is 50% or 100%, (or what ever figure you want to use), out of tune, that it impresses them.
