All that stuff can happen no matter if you bring it to pitch or 100c flat. So give the disclaimer then simplify the question to "do you still want me to tune it?"

"It is possible, when an instrument is this flat that the metal plate may fail, or that strings may snap due to metal fatigue. Strings can be replaced, but the cost of repairing the plate would exceed the fair market value of the piano." Then ask "Do you wish to have the piano brought up to pitch?" Shut up and wait for a yes or a no. At 09:46 AM 5/11/2006 -0400, you wrote: > List, Wing and son upright piano from around 1930 as best as I can Regards, Don Rose, B.Mus., A.M.U.S., A.MUS., R.P.T.
