You are correct Conrad, and many of the school pianos the I tune do just =
that. Below C4 to the bass is often 30-40 cents flat. I quickly go over =
that section and bring it up. Then start again in the bass with a pitch =
raise if it's needed.=20

  What I mean is...why be concerned about floating 440 when the piano =
goes out differantly. Too much fuss or a couple of cents....most people =
dont know,  dont care, and think the piano sounds fine, even when its =
horrible.  Again, it depends on who is using the piano for what. =
Otherwise its alot of fuss for nothing.

    Easy! Tune it ALL to 440.

    Yesterday, I tuned a spinet where the A was at 434, the bass section =
was=20
    sharp and the top was just about at pitch.

    Just what ETDs love...
