Greg, concerning the stability of the unisons, this one is new, in a new =
environment, and it's probably just settling. You are aware that you'll =
probably have to beat this one into submission on your next tuning, =
though. The end sections are going to need to be stabilized to the rest =
of the string lengths, that's probably all it is. You know that Franz =
Mohr always said that you have to pound a piano to get a stable tuning, =
don't you?  Do you have ear-plugs?

Kevin.

P.S. I'm not going to address the issue of the "staples", as I have no =
experience with them. You mentioned that there are no false beats, so I =
don't think that it's loose bridge pins.

   The relative pitch in a=20
  drafty but otherwise temperature constant hall is firm but the unisons =

  don't stay all that well. I usually don't have problems with stability =
but=20
  this one is tough. It seems that the dealers tech, who was called out =
to=20
  try and search out the problem too, also had trouble with pitch =
stability=20
  as I went there days later and the unisons were not that clear. =
Thoughts?
