birdcage pitch?

I strongly suspect that this is the case: That, all other things being equal, the deader a soundboard is, the more stable the tuning will be.

That´s pretty unusual. Is it possible that there is 
a relation between the stability and these 7 passes?


 


My guess is not. I raised the pitch of an old 
upright Kimball more than 100 cents (don't remember exactly how 
much) about six years ago. One year ago I returned to tune it again (only 
needs tuning every 5 years) and it was right up to A440. I think a big ol' flat, 
dead soundboard has more to do with it than how many passes one uses to get a 
piano up to pitch.
