Broken Hammer Return Springs

[Don]

Hi,

Why go back? It is not a good client with a good piano but a bad client
with something resembling a piano. 

It's of interest that you can tune "south of the border". I know that if I
tried to do that in North Dakota I'd have a heck of a time.

There is no difference for me between a concert tuning and a regular
tuning--except that the tolerance for pitch correction is smaller--no more
than 2 cents on any note.
