Hi Wim

This is indeed the case.

You can prove it to yourself easily enough.  The next time you plan to restring
a piano give it a fast unison tune and measure each note above the bass break
using your favorite flavor of ETD.  Remove the bass strings only then again
measure each note and plot the differences.  Look at the graph and draw your own
conclusions.

Have you moved yet?
