William, Thank you for your quick response. You are spot on with what I thought the instructor meant, but I was not real sure if I was interpreting it correctly. In fact I believe he used the term in the context of leaving a performance piano with the pins loaded. I could not agree with you more in my limited experience, I feel much more comfortable leaving all things equal and set, or as you stated at "equilibrium". When I know or think I know a pin is set I don't want to mess with loading it. This could go with the current thread on floating the pitch. If you think the pitch may change by performance time, tune it sharp or flat by your estimates with the pins set not loaded. Thanks again for your insight on this matter.
