Without being technical some pianos lock right in while you are tuning, and you know the tuning is okay. Some, however, you can watch drift during the course of the tuning. Simply put, some pianos are stable and respond like you wished all pianos would, and some pianos don't respond in any reasonable fashion at all. These ones that don't respond are those you wrestle with the entire time, and when you leave, there's that defeated feeling, like you haven't accomplish anything at all. A crummy feeling to say the least. Makes you really appreciate the pianos that cooperate. Keith A.
