Pitch Raising to A440.......Or Not?

[Farrell]

"Why make life more difficult..."

Because I am always seeking to improve my services - to give more value for
the buck. If I may paraphrase Clyde Hollinger:

Well, um, thanks, I guess, Antares, but this response is not the least bit
helpful.  Did I ask a stupid question?  Or are you just tired of the
subject?

My thinking is that this might hasten stability at A440 - such that the next
time the piano is tuned - next year if we are lucky - perhaps it will be
close to A440, rather than 5 or 10 cents flat.
