Hi Ed, I'm curious.....why would you want to raise it up to 440 when it's been at 435 for 'many years'? You'll be struggling with it being stable for several tunings.

The Catholic cathedral has a 1913 Chickering Grand with "International pitch 435" emblazoned on the plate. It has been tuned at that for many years. I assured them that raising the pitch to 440 would not prove injurious to the piano. The strings appear good, the piano itself is in good shape. I should be ok... Yes??
