Miltary pitch and other "Broadwood" expert

[Diane Hofstetter]

Of course, every situation stands on it's own merit.  Maybe this is the job 
from heaven.  You never know until you get there, but it's good to go in 
with your eyes wide open and be observant.

After I had been giving hearing tests with EarQ for awhile, I was at a NHCA 
convention and I showed one of the audiograms to the president of the 
association.  He took it and looked at it without saying a word for a good 
ten minutes.  I learned a lot from that.

I had a lady tell me once, that a tuner, whose name I knew, but work I
dind't, said he put a "Steinway tuning" on her
piano.................................................  Scares me!    I'm
thinking this broadwood thing looks less and less appealing..........

thanks for observations. I will heed them!

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.
