Terry,

You must've not read my post completely...look again and you will notice 
that I stated: "in most cases" below. Of couse there are ALWAYS exceptions, 
like the acrosonic you mentioned, and i've encountered a few that were ULTRA 
flat, but very rarely. When/if i do, I always recommend at least TWO PR's or 
even 3, to help prevent/minimize string breakage, and increase stability.


>>That means no matter how flat the piano is, in most
cases, the aforementioned applies. I usually never have to do more than
one PR to get it into the "ballpark".<<
