how high(low) do you go?

[Lynn Rosenberg]

Well, when I was working for a local piano dealer back in the 70's they've
changed hands and the name has changed but anyway, tuned 3 Whitney spinet
pianos, they arrived from the factory a half tone sharp.  I've never seen a
piano that sharp. I just looked up in Grand spinet pianos, and the pitch of
asharp is 466.1638.  I suppose if a Whitney spinet can take, a good well
built grand can as well.  Any comments??? Lynn Rosenberg
