Speed Tuning/ analogy

I agree with you, Zen.

It seems to me that if a tuning comes out more stable if done
quickly, it may be that the person doing it is still learning
hammer technique. By working quickly, they treat each note the
same way. This leads to a sort of uniformity, which may be
better than what they were doing agonizing over each note.

Certainly bogging down occurs, and better results come from doing
multiple passes quickly. But after the piano is at pitch, there
comes the moment when one checks for "strays." Assuming one can
fix these notes with minimal pin movement, the more polishing,
the better the stability. IMHO, of course.
