Lim asked: 
"Hi 
When a grand piano sits on a Y type trolly, will there be tuning stability problems? I tuned a SK7 which sits on a Y trolly and I have a hard time on the octaves and unisons from key 55 onwards.

Lim,
first question: What is an SK7? Who makes it?  Second question: How long have you been tuning?
With that out of the way I'd say the "Y trolley", (otherwise known as a piano truck), has absolutely nothing to do with the tuning stability, other than the theorem that the contact with the base/floor/whatever has an effect on the piano tone/sustain. I personally don't buy that idea at all.<G>
Regards,
Joe
