Dead-On Unisons - Was Startlingly Stable Steinway

[Mark Dierauf]

You may want to give these "freebies" a good smack. Most often I find
that even when the unisons are good there is unequal tension on the
different string segments. It's not unusual, at least in my neck of the
woods, to see these "good" unisons move several cents on a hard blow
after a seasonal change or recent humidity swing.

Tuned the piano and had multiple freebies, including some don't-touch'em
unisons. There was not a single string more than 3 or 4 cents out and
darned few that were that "bad". And I'm very fussy about on-pitch notes
and dead-on unisons.

Hi all.  I'm interested to know how many "don't-touch'em unisons" y'all
come across in your daily work.  Quite often I find unisons I'd rather
not bother.  Then for some dumb reason I decide to mess with them to see
if there's any room for improvement.  (Newbie tuner experimentations.)
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
