not too much badmouthing pleaseLes: Sometimes I have sweated a job that I thought was going to be a horror show and find out that the dread was wasted. Sometimes the instrument is in good shape and near standard pitch. I am learning to assume nothing (notice I said learning) until I actually do the inspection. Good luck. And don't sweat it.

I don't know WHY she did this, but I somehow expect that "it looked so quaint and like an antique". She wishes me to actually attempt to tune the thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What have I done to deserve this? Anyhow, assuming (and I can't even find a comment for that) it is tuneable, can it be brought up to 440, or would one at all costs keep the pitch significantly lower. I'm praying it will fall off a truck in the move, but fear I might have to face it. So, without making me pay too much for this obvious reward of past sins, a bit of help, please? I'm scared already, and have been blessed not to see it to date... les bartlett -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
