Honestly, I dont see why. The worst that can happen is that the piano completely collapses, still you are no worse off than you were at the begining, with a pretty piece off furniture. I'd do what terry says and drag it up to 440, maybe just a little bit over, and see what breaks. Order new bass strings, replace the treble beakage, and tune it again. I have had old English pianos do odd things, especially breaking bridge and hitch pins, when tuned, but thats part of the fun.

Better to know the bad news than to live in fear of the unknown!
