Interesting concept. I suppose we will try to tune the piano. Thanks to
David Renaud I got in touch with a registered piano technician. He will try
to bring it up and says he can tell me in short order if it is possible.
Maybe if I spin this thing right..... and slip him some money under the
bench he will declare that the piano can not be bought up to A=440. Then I
will "HAVE" to buy the pair of clarinets. How could my wife refuse since the
whole purpose is just so she can play with me. I would make that sacrifice.
