I chip a piano a half a step high, but even my first tuning is only 25 cents high. I don't think this dealer understands what is happening to this piano. Is he telling you to keep it a whole step high because he doesn't want to pay you to do more than just a tuning, or does he think customers won't notice. In my opinion, he is not being honest with him self, much less his customers. <br><br> <div style="clear: both;">Willem (Wim) Blees, RPT<br>Piano Tuner/Technician<br>Honolulu, HI<br>Author of <br>The Business of Piano Tuning<br>available from Potter Press<br>www.pianotuning.com</div><br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: Noah Haverkamp

A3 was B3, so i tuned it to A220. about 3 notes later i felt really weird, so i informed the boss what was going on and was told to tune it where it was at. it had just received new strings. <br><br>well that made it easier to tune, but i mean, ive never heard of tuning a piano a whole tone sharp. <br><BR><BR>Noah Haverkamp <br><span style="color: rgb(0, 127, 64);">Know-a Piano </span><br>http://www.knowapiano.com <br>347-308-0094 <br>Fax: 718-701-2071
