Hello everyone, Just got back from tuning one of those mid-Victorian wooden framed, sticker action, leather hinged, oblong pinned, straight strung bichord affairs that was sitting at minus 600 cents! I always seem to land up with the dregs, mainly because everyone else refuses to touch them. I have 17 of them on my records ranging from 1835 to 1899. Does anyone have a foolproof method of pitch-raising these monsters without turning oneself into a raving lunatic? They really do make a mockery of ones senses. The one idea that I have come up with is to just transpose the whole keyboard I.e. just slide the whole keyboard to the left and swopping over the cheek blocks. Regards Alan Forsyth Edinburgh
