Is my memory going?

[Don]

Hi,

Are you saying that people don't deserve to have concert level tunings that
make their piano a joy to play on? It is their money--they can say *no*. I
have very few pianos that are "in this class" but for those few that I do
have there are always nice little tweaks to regulation that can be done to
make a good piano even better.
