[pianotech] (no subject)

I guess we might as well just tune all pianos 1/2 to 1 full tone flat or
sharp, or wherever they are then with that theory huh?  :-)))

Musing... 
Wouldn't that be that the strings are going back to their original (at 
pitch) kinks, thus _eliminating_ false beats which may have been 
caused at the tuning pin/capo/v-bar end of the string? The major 
movement would be at that end and very little at the bridge end where 
there probably are false beats from other causes, anyway.
