Up to 2 AM this morning with Zelda. I'm biting the bullet and raising her (gently) to pitch. After 40-50 (who really knows) years of being tuned a half pitch low when she was tuned at all, she's groaning a bit. But for the most part holding. Thank goodness, good bones.
I finished all the tenor and treble sections yesterday. Today's my day off so before I run off to Marathon to help with their production of the Messiah this evening, I'm going to work on the bass this morning, then hopefully retune everything that's dropped during the day.
It may take three or four more adjustments before she can hold everything; so it's quite a process. But exciting to hear her come back alive.
