Mr Delacour, In my experience when a piano is well tuned, power and sustain improves. (There are some pianos where a well-tuned unison rapidly fades, presuming that isn't what we are talking about.) In your example you said the piano was near pitch but not in-tune if I understood correctly. Maybe this is where the difference lies...? Andrew Anderson
