But I thought I already knew his reasons, and I don't think that's them. My 
experience is that the number of tunings before delivery doesn't have much 
to do with tuning stability after delivery. Taking the piano through a 
hefty humidity swing or two before delivery would likely produce better 
results. Along those lines, I think Kimball's Mezzo Thermonial Stabilizer 
was nearly a good idea.
