This Might Be A Stretch ...

Hi Barnard,

Not enough information in your post!

Was the piano "prepped" at the store by tapping down the strings at the
hitch pins and tightening the coils?

How much did you change the pitch?

I generally find that 8 tunings are about enough to stabilize a
piano--that's *if* they control humidity.

How long after the DC install did you do the tuning? I prefer to wait a
month if at all possible.

Did you put on a bottom cover?
