Okay .... responding ..... 1. Was the piano "prepped" at the store by tapping down the strings at the hitch pins and tightening the coils? Ans: Have no way of knowing. 2. How much did you change the pitch? Ans: About 10 cents, with a separate PR tuning (Sanderson method with ETD) 3. I generally find that 8 tunings are about enough to stabilize a piano--that's *if* they control humidity. Good, good ... okay ... 4. How long after the DC install did you do the tuning? I prefer to wait a month if at all possible. Ans: Tuned 11/2, installed DC 11/26 (after). Would this have thrown it so much? 5. Did you put on a bottom cover? Ans: No. Haven't bought any with a cover, yet. Are people seeing a real difference? Thanks Alan > At 11:31 PM 12/30/2002 -0600, you wrote: > > Steck baby grand bought new about 12 months ago.
