Part of Randy Rush's post: >...to those of you who have seen more cracks is: is the crack always very >obvious?... A radical drop in pitch from A440 after a pitch raise and tuning in a short period of time is certainly one excellent indication of some structural problem, and would be an excellent signal to start searching for the place of weakness.

One such grand piano did that to me, pretty much is the same fashion as you described happened to you, except it only took three weeks to drop back to where it was on the first visit. Keith A.
