I Avery,

About 200 pounds, I think.  It isn't the tension that is the
problem it is the instability of the piano after a pitch
change.  Ds are like rubber, push here and the whole lot
responds.  You will likely have to tune the piano two more
times for it to become acceptably stable and then four or
five times to bring it down to 440.  That's what all the
shouting is about.  Next time don't get out of bed.

Have a good weekend all.
