<HTML>Clyde, Ric, I don't know if it was the temperament, the pitch, pride in my work that= made the piano sound better at 435, but I was not alone in believing that i= t sounded the way it was most likely intended to sound.  The richness i= n the bass really came out.  Surprised the heck out of me, to be honest= .
