About three years ago I rescued a Gors & Kallmann baby grand which was about to be dumped. The serial number dates it to around 1926. A friend housed it for me until recently when I brought it back home, having put my C3 up for sale. I want to use it as a practice piano until I've saved up enough for either an S6 or a reconditioned Steinway. The G&K seems to be in reasonable condition considering it doesn't seem to have had any work done on either the strings or the action and it hadn't been tuned whilst in storage.
A local technician came to see it this week and got it up to A=438. On the tuning card he noted that it is 'false at present'. I wondered if someone here could tell me what that meant? I'm guessing it's something to do with the fact it couldn't be brought up to 440? It was tuned on Thursday and a few notes have gone a little out already but so far it seems to be quite stable.
Incidentally, I used to post here as 'Openwood' until I had a strop and left. I thought it was time I tried to rehabilitate myself
