Ron You describe what I hear from the Bosendorfers I tune. The 9'6" has a difficult 4th and 5th octave-inharmonicity? I'm not sure. All other elements are correct. Great bass, clean but a little thin in the treble. The 7' pianos actually are easier to hear and tune. But it seems they all should have better projection. Just my thoughts.
