to Rolland Miller Depending on who made this piano, check for pinblock to plate flange fit. Tighten pinblock screws. Use a string strecher on strings and seat strings to bridge. Check the bridge pin angle to see if the pins are too vertical and riding up on the pins. Tune twice after streching,and seating. Check the humidity differences between the last time you tuned and this time. You failed to mention this. This piano also has hard hammers which will make it sound worse than it actually may be. Voice it down a bit. The humidity differences and hammer hardness may be the obvious differences, but it sounds to me like this piano wasnt prepared well from the onset and if it was tuned every 5 mos , like the customer said, you arent too far off the mark. And by the way, who tuned the piano for the last 6 or 7 years??? Theodore Mamel RPT Pittsburgh Chapter
