<DIV>What I mean is...why be concerned about floating 440 when the piano goes out differantly. Too much fuss or a couple of cents....most people dont know,  dont care, and think the piano sounds fine, even when its horrible.  Again, it depends on who is using the piano for what. Otherwise its alot of fuss for nothing.

Yesterday, I tuned a spinet where the A was at 434, the bass section was sharp and the top was just about at pitch. Just what ETDs love...
