RE: Some Minor quibbles

My wife's Steinway B was tuned to A=442. The technician we used to use was the tuner for the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and he tuned to the orchestra's concert pitch.

As you pointed out, pianos aren't tuned with equal octaves, even if each octave is split equally. The linked article explains why. Our tuner explained to me one day what he was doing and why, and that he was making various sonic tradeoffs, including the brilliance of the instrument.
