<DIV>You are correct Conrad, and many of the school pianos the I tune do =
just
that. Below C4 to the bass is often 30-40 cents flat. I quickly go over =
that
section and bring it up. Then start again in the bass with a pitch raise =
if it's
needed. </DIV>

<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.<BR><BR><B><I>Conrad Hoffsommer
