This nonsense of doing it over several tunings appears to be a way of getting extra tuning jobs. I dont call this nonsense at all. It definatly adds somewhat to stability in many if not most cases, does absolutely no harm in the few "othewise" cases, and allows me to schedule my days in a much more predicatable manner. Pianos that need to be raised more then a quarter step... every time.. If there is anything that is nonsensical.. its this oversympathetic attitude towards folks who let their pianos get in this condition in the first place. Richard Brekne I.C.P.T.G. N.P.T.F.
