Miltary pitch and other "Broadwood" expert

[Frank Emerson]

I have played in military bands, Army, Air Force, and National Guard, off and on since 1970.  Never heard of military pitch.

Greetings,

     I think the lady was sold a "bull of goods" by her rebuilder or whatever he was. I think military pitch was part of that bull, sort of implying that this tuning wont go out of tune so fast,  as if it was a "heavy duty", official or "industrial strength" tuning or something. Then again,  perhaps Glenn Miller had a preferred temperament put on his orchestra's piano and so it was nicknamned military pitch.. sort of like a local thing. .That would be the only logical guess I can come up with about "military pitch".

     I think Diane is right. I think this customer may make trouble, especially if she's been taken by the "Broadwood expert";  very good advice and red flag stuff.
