Al, We have one Yamaha C-3 that is similar. It was barely used the last couple years. One large ensemble needed it on stage since the 9'-er was just too big. I hadn't tuned it in over a year. Not only was it spot on A-440, but I literally had to tweek about a dozen strings to set it ready for the group!! Go figgur!

A little background this time. I first tuned this piano in 2006 with a pitch raise and tuning. The piano was between -30 and -75 cents. Tuned it again 4 months later in May. I found it at 441 and tuned it there. I've been tuning it at 440 every year in May, since then. I wrote about it last year when I found the furthest notes out at -6 and +2 cents. Returned this year to find the furthest notes out to be -3 and +2. Totally unbelievable! This piano has no humidification system, but the owner says there is a whole house humidification unit in their heating system. I find the temperature is at 70° ± 1 and the humidity is at 42% ± 2. I just had to share this again. I find it very hard to believe. This piano is like a rock. Then there's the church with a GH1, that's out of tune after breathing near it for 5 minutes.
