----- Original Message ----- There was a recent tread on how much a piano will drop in pitch over the years. This afternoon I have an appointment to tune a piano the owner bought new 28 years ago, and she knows for a fact (or at least that what she says) that it has never been tuned. I'll report back. Terry Farrell 1978 Kimball spinet. Her parents bought it for her new when she was a kid. She has owned it for 20 years. She knows it has not been tuned in the past 20 years. She thinks that her parents had not had it tuned in the first eight years either, but was not sure. From the way it sounded, my guess is that they had not had it tuned! Bass was 80 cents flat. Tenor was 100 cents flat. Treble ranged from 130 to 180 cents flat. Two pitch raises and a "fine" tuning (as y'all know, one doesn't fine tune an instrument like this!). ----- Original Message ----- Terry, let me guess that you'll find this piano 100 cents flat after tuning. Jesse Gitnik I left it right at A441. Why would it be 100 cents flat after tuning? Terry Farrell -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
