Noah 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. <div style="CLEAR: both">Willem (Wim) Blees, RPT Piano Tuner/Technician Honolulu, HI Author of The Business of Piano Tuning available from Potter Press www.pianotuning.com</div> -----Original Message----- From: Noah Haverkamp <noahhaverkamp@yahoo.com> To: pianotech@ptg.org Sent: Tue, 8 Apr 2008 2:01 am Subject: sharp tuning <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. well that made it easier to tune, but i mean, ive never heard of tuning a piano a whole tone sharp.
