Terry Farrell Yes , Why? Tighten plate screws as possible, Lube pressure bar-V bar with = protek (Not on Bass strings)pull a few strings in each section up to = test for breakage.=20 If they all break(unlikely) regroup and tune at a lower = pitch.Judgement call time here along with your client. Either aural or electronic ,I would pull it right to 440 as fast = as possible. --20 minutes tops. Whatever strings break will break then. Pull out the action --if it has bridles!-replace your strings if = nec.-take the time to tighten action screws. Action back in --approach your now 30-50 cent flat piano as you = would any flat instrument.=20 I use the Defebaugh- Coleman anticipated drop pitch raise method = with an acutuner . I certainly have left older pianos below pitch for lots of = reasons, (like string breakage issues and clients without resources ) But being that flat is not necessarily a barrier to tuning to = 440 =20 Good luck, Tom Driscoll ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
