The likelihood that the outside strings would have both moved and still be in perfect unison seems unlikely. But, as I said, when I find the center string off I usually double check the interval tuning, octave or whatever. To be honest, it's rare that I find that the center sting is the one that's off. I'm usually cleaning up a few outside unisons on the final pass--small corrections, but there's usually a few. In the final pass I like to be able to go through the piano playing at the same level, in this case fairly soft. Going back and forth louder to softer, which I do in the initial pass(es) doesn't allow you to focus your attention quite as well on subtle differences in the unison tuning.

Not only that, but by identical amounts and in the same direction. Again, pianos defy our assumptions _______________________________________________ pianotech list info: https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives
