I pull the string a half step high, then tune the piano, and just before I 
leave, drop the pitch to about 5 cents high. I go back a few days later, and 
the string is usually in tune. 

With private customers I tell them that note will sound a little funny for a 
while, then wit will sound good, I then say, when it becomes bad again, and 
you can't stand it, call me and I'll retune it. It's amazing how few calls I 
get. And when I go back a year later, that string is way out, but the 
customer didn't hear it. It's usually some other note they are concerned 
about.
