sharp tuning

[Noah Haverkamp]

exactly what i was afraid of. the boss is not a tuner. i will inform others with some authority.

Hi Wim,
 I suspect there will be a slurry of false beating  sounds in the upper range of this instrument, caused by over stretching of the  wire beyond it's elasticity.

Who ever restrung this piano really took a    chance tuning the piano a whole step sharp. I chip a piano a half a step    high, but even my first tuning is only 25 cents high. I don't think this    dealer understands what is happening to this piano. Is he telling you to    keep it a whole step high because he doesn't want to pay you to do more than    just a tuning, or does he think customers won't notice. In my opinion, he    is not being honest with him self, much less his customers.

   i began to do a    floor tuning at a warehouse last week and A4 was tuned as B4. i tuned it to    A440. A3 was B3, so i tuned it to A220. about 3 notes later i felt really    weird, so i informed the boss what was going on and was told to tune it where    it was at. it had just received new strings. 

well that made it easier    to tune, but i mean, ive never heard of tuning a piano a whole tone sharp.
