I've got a good instructor/client with a 1917 Sohmer 5ft 7in grand and a '70s Baldwin SD-10 in her studio. She always wants the two tuned to each other for obvious reasons, but I keep telling her that the best I can do is have them both at the same pitch, and beyond that, the pianos are just too different to tune exactly to each other. Then I started thinking, maybe there is a compromise, in between, that would allow me to do this. Is this possible? How would I determine the compromise? She's rather picky - would she be happy with the result? Where does the line get drawn as to which pianos (style, make, model, size, etc.) can be exactly tuned to each other? I use an SAT, and maybe I could play around with the FAC numbers to reach the compromise. Thanks in advance, John Piesik, RPT Oceanside, CA
