Betsy Ross pianos

[Rozan Brown]

I figured it would be higher due to the radically different season.  I
decided to go ahead and tune it anyway (because she asked me to do it
now), but I floated the pitch high so that it will settle back for the
fall and winter.

This piano gets played only by the visiting little granddaughter, and I
don't think she'd spend the $$ for a D-C system.  BTW, I didn't charge
anything extra for the pitch-lower, mainly because I didn't feel like
penalizing an acquaintance for actually tuning her piano more than
once/year (instead of the usual once/5-10 years), plus she's an
acquaintance.  When she calls again, depending on the season, I'll
suggest tunings in the spring and/or fall.
