Marcel, are you joking? For the unlikely case that this is not supposed to be a joke: does the dealer just tell them or does he really remove the strings for stretching? I mean, how stupid is this? Actually, string stretching is an issue in new pianos. But usually strings are stretched in the piano, not outside. A friend of mine sells Wendl & Lung, Kawai and Seiler. He says that the Seilers have a string stretching problem as they are not propperly stretched compared to WL or Kawai. He stretches the strings of all the Seilers he sells.

They are the ones I find 1/2 step flat after a year...
