Everett Pianos

[Robin Olson]

   In regards to not moveing a piano after it has been tuned,I have to 
disagree.Especially in the case of an Everett Studio.As long the back 
posts are sound,and the plate screws are tight,moveing it a few inches 
from the wall won't make it go out of tune.I would say if a piano can't 
be moved a few inches without going out of tune,it needs to be 
repaired.I do alot of concert work where pianos are moved around a 
stage several times after tuning,even during a performance.I am talking 
of course about a structurally sound S'way grand with heavy duty rubber 
wheeled casters.If those pianos had to be tuned every time they were 
moved,I would be very busy....and have to interupt the concert to tune 
the piano after it is moved center stage for the concerto.
