But if the piano was designed with A435 (or less) in mind, pitch "correcting" it to A440 is wrong. <br><br>And to add on to Del's response... or the Piano Teacher!<br><br>Paul Bruesch<br>Stillwater, MN<br><br>

<div>Hello to All,</div>
<div> </div>
<div> To lump all "Birdcage" pianos into one category, </div>
<div>one quality range or one condition just does not </div>
<div>make sense.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> Many of these pianos are made much stronger than</div>
<div>others. We as technicians must evaluate each piano</div>
<div>ON ITS OWN MERIT. </div>
<div> </div>
<div> It is a disservice to the public to say things like</div>
<div> "all black pianos are bad" this is the same as saying
</div>
<div>that no Birdcage pianos cannot be raised SUCCESSFULLY
</div>
<div> to 440. </div>
<div> </div>
<div> I have personally raised pitch on many of these </div>
<div>pianos with no adverse effects. </div>
<div> </div>
<div> Our profession seems to have a propensity to lump</div>
<div>each item into one category. </div>
<div> </div>
<div> If you are guilty of this type of conduct I
respectfully </div>
<div> say stop. We owe it to the profession we share. </div>
<div> </div>
<div> If a person cannot get the truth about Pianos from a
</div>
<div>Piano technician. THEN WHO ???? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Respectfully,</div>
