  I got an email from some girl who actually as paid money for an upright piano she says is about 125 years old







..   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
