Clyde, Ric,

I don't know if it was the temperament, the pitch, pride in my work that made 
the piano sound better at 435, but I was not alone in believing that it 
sounded the way it was most likely intended to sound.  The richness in the 
bass really came out.  Surprised the heck out of me, to be honest.
