Never, Never raise a laminated Currier plate to A-440. I've seen two in my life - One was already broken - the second was at A-440, so I tuned it there, after first warning the customer the plate may break during tuning, and the plate may break in the future. Remember the distinctive look of this plate so you will recognize it in the future. The giveaway is the smooth finish, tuning pins separated by a large margin (to spread out the tension, I suppose) and the thick plate profile (best seen by the bridges). The piano was junk before you tuned it, so you didn't harm it much by breaking the plate!
