Since I posted my question re. Honky Tonk tuning a few days ago, there have been many opinions posted. Most are excellently informative, at least I've read things that have come very close to answering my original question. Where this first struck me was when I heard a CD of Scott Joplin ragtime music. Most of it sounds very consistent, but there are areas where the tuning seems inconsistent. ( or out of tune with itself ) That is why I posted the question, hoping to get a definitive answer. Maybe there isn't one . I've also enjoyed the many postings re. Betsy Ross pianos. I don't if they were sold in Canada. The person who stated that some dealers popularize an instrument by selling many in an area, is probably correct.
