I have a call to service two pianos. One is a Bösendorfer Imperial grand, tuned to A443, and the other is a c. 1980's 6'7" Kimball-Bösendorfer from the "Viennese Collection". Customer is requesting they be tuned together. Was the Kimball-Bösendorfer also scaled to A443? If not, will it take an A443 tuning?

Geoff,

I maintain a 6’7” Kimball Viennese edition grand. It is a solid and stable piano. There is no reason why it can’t be tuned to A443.
