[pianotech] International pitch 435

[Ed Carwithen]

I know this has been hashed and re-hashed, but just to be sure....
 
The Catholic cathedral has a 1913 Chickering Grand with "International pitch 435" emblazoned on the plate.  It has been tuned at that for many years.  I assured them that raising the pitch to 440 would not prove injurious to the piano.  The strings appear good, the piano itself is in good shape.  
 
I should be ok... Yes??
