In a week, how much might you "expect" the stability to slip? I figure these are largely impossible questions to accurately answer, but I'm still looking for generalities. >> I tell my customers the piano will "drift" out of tune over the next couple of months, and that I want to see the "patient" again in 6 months. As I reported earlier, of all the pitch raises I do, only about 20% of them to call me in 6 months, and that is after I send them a reminder card. Willem
