I remember his mentioning that Kawai pianos are tuned to A445 (or maybe it was A446) before they are shipped out. That would translate to about 25 cents at A4. Since that technical, I've resisted the urge to lower the new pianos to A440. And have found that they gradually get there if I just leave 'em alone for the first year or so. -- JF -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
