<P>Thanks for your replies
<BR>.
<BR>I'm interested in hearing more reports of deviation from pitch,
<BR>how much, how often..........
<BR>.
<BR>I think we need to be reminded to check our reference pitch
<BR>regularly and not take it for granted.
<P>Reporting back on the outcome.
<P>Checked the forks against another technician's. machine
<BR>and they were both within .1 of a cent at room temp.
<P>Checked the teachers machine and it was 10 cents off.
<BR>He admitted 15 cents was a slight exaggeration on his part
<BR>to make sure I came back.
<P>We manually calibrated the machine, it's self calibrating
<BR>" 440" lies.
<P>I didn't change the piano's pitch at all, the brass tuned
<BR>to the calibrated machine, everybody thought the piano
<BR>sounded magnificent tonight.
<P>And I'm in a much better mood.

Cheers all
