Phil;
 If the below is what you are speaking of...well even B'dorfer has a right to 
be wrong.

"Concert tuning one of our recital pianos takes about six hours. After this 
treatment it will remain in perfect pitch for a long time."
 I suppose we would need their definition of a long time huh?

" Even our most robust of performers has never caused the slightest loss of 
pitch during a recital because each string and tuning pin has been stabilised 
during tuning."
 I certainly hope that the glaze on this crock doesn't contain lead! :-)

 "A tuner who does a cheap job in an hour or so, may well leave the piano 
sounding quite good, but in all probability it will deteriorate within a few 
hours, days or weeks."
 No "cheap job" will last for long, perfect pitch wise, including their 
expensive "six hour" one.
