A lady called today saying she has an 1860's Broadwood which she wants tuned. Says the last guy who tuned it did so to "military pitch"..... What's that pray, tell? If I do this thing, would tuning it at A=430 be a safe thing to do? I don't know enough about these old things to even venture a safe guess. She said it was rebuilt twice, as the first "local piano company" screwed it up and she had to get a "Broadwood expert" to redo the whole thing. About $20K with no casework. It is kept presently in a house which is only sporadically air conditioned. It isn't her "regular home" of course. They can't afford to keep it cooled since it is a "second home" long time in the family............ 13,000 square feet. So, I dread to think what I might run into. Info would be appreciated, and info on tuning a harmonium as well. Thanks les bartlett -- Internal Virus Database is out-of-date. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
