Not until the professors complain that your tuning, or any one else's tuning, 
is not making the piano sound better, will consideration be given to doing 
something major. You can try to "educate" these professors, but I bet they 
won't "learn" anything. The best time to approach them on doing something 
with this piano is when they complain the piano doesn't sound or play right. 
But for you to approach them first will make it appear you're just looking 
for work. I know that doesn't make sense, but unfortunately, that's how it is 
in our society. The opinion of the "experts" (that's us), don't mean anything 
unless the "professionals," (that the professors), don't like what they have. 
And for now, it appears the "professionals" aren't complaining. So leave it 
alone.

Just my opinion.
