<DIV><BR></DIV><WBR>Noah<BR><BR>Who ever restrung this piano really took a
chance tuning the piano a whole step sharp. 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>

tuning<BR><BR>
<DIV id=AOLMsgPart_2_5d28bc90-d1bb-4288-bc02-5089c763eac4>i began to do a
floor tuning at a warehouse last week and A4 was tuned as B4. i tuned it to
A440. 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.
