That's what can be confusing. Some pianos, such as those that I tune on cruise ships (Yamaha C3s) I see every two weeks. Some are pretty good after that time and some are horrible. The other end of the spectrum is a lady who has a Baldwin Hamilton (maybe 1970 or so) and the once per year that I see it, I often start out - after an initial listen - wondering why she wants to tune it - the darn thing is sooooooo stable. Seems hard to judge. Terry Farrell On Mar 9, 2010, at 8:43 PM, Dean May wrote: > A good check on yourself is to look at the pianos you regularly > service.
