Let me do a Paul Harvey here and the proverbial rest of the story.
Hello, Dorrie, and thank you for your response.
or, as I say, even worse damage! I guess the issue becomes one of risk assessment versus attempting a perfect tune on such an old piano but one which still fills the room with decent sounds.Īny comment would be highly appreciated. In effect, when I brought those decidedly ouch sounding flat 9 strings into unison with its two unison string mates, the piano sounded rather good and allowing for its advanced age but, again, I worry about bringing the piano to a near perfect tune which would then involve raising the pitch of every single string on the piano =but= then having the piano's age work against me and rebel, so to speak, by string breaks. Or, even worse damage! I play the piano for personal pleasure and not with any other musical instrument accompaniment so the piano being in precise tune with other instruments would not be an issue.

Now, having said that, and understanding that the normal ideal is of course a piano in accurate 440 tune and neither flat nor sharp on the sound tester but in the green on the chomatic meter, I'm a bit nervous at, how to put it, =forcing= the piano to be in the green zone of the meter essentially =due= to its advanced age of 97 years and the risk of either breaking strings or possibly weakening the steel pins.

I then ran an electronic chromatic tester on all the strings and the testing shows that the tune, per se, and I'm trying my best to explain this as I'm not a piano tech, anyway, I ran the chromatic tuner test across the board on all the strings and while the electronic sound tester showed the correct note when I struck the piano key and even if the individual string within the series of three was individually plucked using the old guitar pick thing, again it was in unison with the other two and showed the correct note on the chromatic device =but= all of them, and per the tune tester, were on the flat side although the piano now sounds rather good. For some reason, it was always the string to the left of the three-series strings that was the flat sounding one and upon adjustment, slowly and carefully, the piano sounded 100% better. For its age, now 97, the piano is in rather good shape and when I got it, I had to adjust exactly 9 various treble strings which were not in unison with their other two string mates, so to speak. Here's the situation and I would welcome any comment or recommendations. I recently came into possession of a Lindeman upright piano which I've been able to trace through its serial number, 126538, as having been manufactured in 1913 at the then New York City located establishment of Lindeman and Sons Piano Company.
