Les !!... I am quite sure I dont see your problem. Just say you dont
work on old pianos and ask her to get someone else. And why on earth
would you insist on tuning the thing to 440 in the first place ? The
instrument obviously falls into the category of historical and one has
every excuse in the world not to tune to 440. <br>
<br>
I suggest you locate someone nearby who actually is motivated to work
on very old instruments, refer her to that person and wash your hands
of it. <br>
<br>
In anycase.... whats the big deal ?<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>

I got an email from some girl who actually as paid money for an upright
piano she says is about 125 years old.......... I don't know WHY she
did this, but I somehow expect that "it looked so quaint and like an
antique". She wishes me to actually attempt to tune the
thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What have I done to
deserve this? Anyhow, assuming (and I can't even find a comment for
that) it is tuneable, can it be brought up to 440, or would one at all
costs keep the pitch significantly lower. I'm praying it will fall
off a truck in the move, but fear I might have to face it. So, without
making me pay too much for this obvious reward of past sins, a bit of
help, please? I'm scared already, and have been blessed not to see it
to date...<br>
