Hi Eric and Lawrence, I agree with the majority of replies so far. I do not tune pianos together. I tune each piano to it's own stretch. Of course they will not be exactly the same stretch numbers but they will be very close and sound very good together. In my opinion, the very minor differences will give each instrument it's own voice, so to speak. Imagine trying to get four singers to sound exactly the same. I believe that the differences in characters also give the music a more three dimensional sound as well. In other words, they don't sound like one big piano but four separate voices, each with their own particular character. Imagine how sterile it would sound if you got the four singers to sound exactly the same. It will be interesting to hear what you decide and how it turns out. chris -- -Christopher D.
