You dont have to convince me, I've tuned several oldies from before 1900 of late, and whether its the age and stress toll, or whether its the way they were designed, all sound better.... at least far more charming (IMVA) at a lower pitch then 440. Seems to fit the bill, slower moving coincidents, rounder sound, warmer bass.... Like I said... ya done good ! It would be great if we could get more short recordings of some of these old gals we run into from time to time and share over the nett... as long as we have it :) Cheers RicB Piannaman@aol.com wrote: > > 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.
