<html> <body> Kind of drastic, isn't it? :-) Anyway, I don't want the Fortepiano at A-415. I brought it up to A-430.

We have a dedication recital coming up for our new Maene Fortepiano and Malcolm Bilson from Cornell is performing. In answer to my question about whether it's capable of being tuned to A-440, he said yes but said that most of the repertoire for that music is usually performed at A-430. He's asked to tune for his own recital but I at least wanted to get it stable at 430. Yesterday it was app. A-415!
