A=440 was Tuning

[paul bruesch]

That was exactly my thought... but I guess it's primarily to show that
(a) you CAN and (b) you understand the issues of tuning A4 directly to
the fork. Then too, ya' never know when a new RPT is going to be
called on to tune for a concert of some sort or other... even if it's
"just" a High School Orchestra or something.

I've recently started floating pitch. If the whole piano is "close"
(10c - 20c) I'll split the difference... e.g. 16c flat, I bring it up
to 8c flat. If it's more than 20c flat, I just pitch raise to A440 and
charge 'em.
