Pitch Raise Experiment/ Terry

[Joseph Garrett]

Terry,
EXACTLY! You really hit a large nerve with me. Your, (son's), experiment
pretty much tells the story. I've been preaching the pitch raise situation
with Square grands and Bird-cage pianos, forever. If a piano is tuned to
it's "designed pitch", it will stay better in tune. This is due to tuning
pin "cant", structure compression, etc.
If the strings will take the tension. . . go for it!
