Is there nothing which can be done for them? No William, we don't all feel like it is a waste of time, nor do we all feel that the instrument in question is trash. Being only a private (busted NCO, at that), I can only speak for myself. I am in awe of someone such as yourself who, with your vast experience, has never had that feeling of frustration (which I suppose only I in my ignorance could have felt) when wrestling with a piano, which for whatever reason, demands every tuning technique ever devised and even then only begrudgingly permits itself to be tuned. > Do you think ...<snips to save some bandwidth> that there are no >established techniques which will do this instrument any good? Again, NO! What may be to the benefit of we lesser tuners could be the realization and subsequent relief to know that we are not totally bereft of technique, but that some pianos actually _are_ harder to tune than others. Perhaps knowing in advance some specific makes and models could favorably affect our moods while tuning, thereby making everybody happier. Just my ha'penny and continued bandwidth waste. Pvt.
