Help with bad tuning

[Terry]

What you say is true Phil, but what we are talking about with this thread is
that some folks raise pitch by a semitone, but only raise it 50 cents. Some
go 100 cents on a semitone. Some raise it 50%. Some service pianos that have
13 steps in an octave, and some see pianos that only have 12 steps.

Different strokes for different folks - sure, but there is something to be
said for uniformity......
