After thinking about this for awhile, the 300 cent pitch raise was on an antique piano - Collard & Collard - 1886 - that to my knowledge and the customers' knowledge had never tuned. The customer initially bought it as a show piano then after I got the piano operational - which had to fabricate several new action parts - he decided he wanted to play it. So, I seem to remember doing a "chip" tuning with the Cybertuner with whatever the lowest tuning pitch it has - A335 ? Once I found out that most of the bass strings were popping, I ordered new bass strings, put them on and tuned again - this time at A440. Amazingly, nothing else popped. -- Duaine Hechler Piano, Player Piano, Pump Organ Tuning, Servicing & Rebuilding Reed Organ Society Member Florissant, MO 63034 (314) 838-5587 dahechler at att.net www.hechlerpianoandorgan.com -- Home & Business user of Linux - 11 years
