Yes, the church that hires me to arrange and direct holiday services has an 1866 Steinway grand. The day after it’s tuned, it reverts back down a few cents. Right now we have it at 432. It sounds terrific and stays there. We just can’t play it along with the tracker organ. That’s at 441 and two-thirds (go figure). A whole new meaning to ‘chorus’.
