<DIV>Hello Jack,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Our standard pitch today is A-440.</DIV>
<DIV>If the strings don't break, tune the piano to A-440.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I have raised several dozen of the 435s at
least.</DIV>
<DIV>Never a problem.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> It is always a possibility a string or even a plate
will</DIV>
<DIV>break. </DIV>
<DIV> It is also a possibility that strings or a plate will
break</DIV>
<DIV>if you -- LOWER -- the pitch.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards,</DIV>
<DIV>Jack</DIV>
