Then you didn't go far enough. Google "Pedtke Scalatron", and "Harry Partch, scale". Partch was a micotonal scale designer. Pedtke assisted him at one time, vis 
"He had received a visit from Herman Pedtke, inventor of the Scalatron, an electronic keyboard designed to accommodate microtonal tunings -- the very instrument he had dreamed of as long ago as 1945 in Madison. Partch was fascinated by the instrument, but noted to a friend that his work had gone in a very different direction in the years since, and now involved 'far more than a microtonal scale.'" 

Pedtke didn't invent a piano but a microtonal keyboard.

- Unprocessed: 
   First off, the piano only gets moved from one room to another, but I still 
think it affects the tuning.   
   Paul,I searched for Pedtke pianos, no luck.  Has anyone on the list heard of 
this brand. I also e-mailed a couple piano dealers as well.   
   Thanks everyone. 
   Marshall 

- Done.
