It should be tuned to 444Hz. Slightly higher than the perfect 440.
This is what professional orchestras tune into.
In fact, the whole orchestra tunes to 444Hz when a piano soloist is going to play. It does make the difference in sound!

What is a dead piano key and how easier is it to repair?
A dead piano key is when a key on the piano won't play: something in the mechanism is not transferring the force from the key press to the hammer. It could be an easy fix or could be a difficult fix. It could be as simple as a missing hammer or as complex as regulation. If you get the piano tuned, the tuner should be able to fix the regulation. I only know uprights and cannot say for a grand piano. But in an upright there are a few regulation screws that when you turn the right ways you can regulate the piano yourself. There is one screw (Capstan) on the key lever itself that may need to be adjusted up to push the hammer into the string. or it could be the regulation on the Jack (letoff) that needs to be brought down, thus pushing the hammer up sooner. Remember there are thousands of pieces in the piano and just one piece being out of whack can throw the one key out of commission.

What or who would be able to describe the details of how a piano works?
Pianos are a percussion instrument with strings. Inside the piano are dozens of wires or "strings", the number varies with each piano. These strings are tightened to a specific point, or "tuned". When a key on the piano is pressed, it swings a small wooden hammer with a metallic striking surface inside the piano. These hammers strike the strings, which causes them to vibrate, creating the sound.
What is the secret to a perfect arpeggio on piano?
Pianos are not tuned to perfect pitch in every key. In fact, they are not tuned to perfect pitch in any key unless the pianist has the desire and the authority to make it so. Pianos are tuned so that whatever key you play in, the tuning is "close enough". If you were to tune your piano to perfect pitch in the key of C, say, then any piece you played in A flat would not sound "good enough". The answer to this question is this. "To play a perfect arpeggio in a certain key, you must first tune your piano to that key." The problem with tuning instruments to all keys is a mathematical one. For the interval of a fifth, C to G say, the frequency increases by a factor of 3/2. If middle C is at 440 Hz then G is at 660Hz. For the octave, the frequency doubles. The C above middle C is at 880 Hz. Now we can see the problem. Starting at the key of C, go to the next sharp key G, then to D, A, E, B, F#, C#, G#, D#, A#, E#, and finish at B# which is C. We have gone up 12 fifths which means increasing the frequency by 3/2 twelve times. We have increased 440 Hz by (3/2)^12. That is 56320 Hz. Also, we see that we have gone from middle C to a C seven octaves higher, which means a doubling of frequency seven times, or 440 by 2^7. That comes to 57088 Hz. But that is not the same. If we tune all the fifths perfectly, the octaves aren't octaves. The problem cannot be solved. In fact, over more than half an octave, a perfect arpeggio can only be played by the angels in heaven where the laws of physics and mathematics don't apply.
