Greetings,
I must add to the above, "so is pitch!". After a solid tuning, in which
the atmosphere is noted, a careful listen will reveal much information about
what the soundboard is doing. I am not sure if I have seen the piano's
tuning mentioned. Is there a problem with this piano's pitch stability?
