The Pitch Thing

[Stephen Airy]

OK, so maybe I'm weird, but....


I wouldn't mind having my personal piano tuned to
A-427 (quarter step flat), A-415(half step flat), or
even A-390 (full step flat)  on some occasions, and
I'm NOT talking about when it's in such bad condition
that tuning it to 440 will split the plate.
