Hi Zr, I totally agree with your post, maximise a concert grand for use with an orcestra, max power ect. in the killer octave, almost to the point of V bar zings, and observe the little false beats and how quickly the unisons want to inter act. Now take the same piano and voice for recital use in a smaller hall, and your tuning will last in such a manner as to flatter your talents. No wonder that a set of hammers only last 5 years on our rental artist grands. The two areas are so inter active, that it defies description. Pushing the let off to 1/32" will also give suprising tuning/voicing results. Excellent observations. Regards Roger Roger Jolly Balwin Yamaha Piano Centres. Saskatoon/Regina. Canada.
