Miltary pitch and other "Broadwood" expert

[Leslie Bartlett]

I had a lady tell me once, that a tuner, whose name I knew, but work I
dind't, said he put a "Steinway tuning" on her
piano.................................................  Scares me!    I'm
thinking this broadwood thing looks less and less appealing..........  
 
thanks for observations. I will heed them!

Greetings,
 
     I think the lady was sold a "bull of goods" by her rebuilder or
whatever he was. I think military pitch was part of that bull, sort of
implying that this tuning wont go out of tune so fast,  as if it was a
"heavy duty", official or "industrial strength" tuning or something. Then
again,  perhaps Glenn Miller had a preferred temperament put on his
orchestra's piano and so it was nicknamned military pitch.. sort of like a
local thing. .That would be the only logical guess I can come up with about
"military pitch".
 
     I think Diane is right. I think this customer may make trouble,
especially if she's been taken by the "Broadwood expert";  very good advice
and red flag stuff.
