Hi, I have never had much success with averaging two pianos (or more) together, even if they are the same make and model. I find it better to tune each to the best it can sound. Music generally has many rapid notes, so I think that small differences between pianos in the mid range will not be audible. The extremes are a different matter. I have tried averaging with both SAT and RCT. No dice--the pianos never sound *right*, no matter how carefully I go about tuning. In one case that meant using RCT and tuning each piano one note at a time. (i.e. tune A4 on one piano then move to the other and tune A4) The two pianos I tune most frequently together are Kawai GS-60 pianos with consecutive serial numbers. They do *not* sound as well with an averaged tuning as with independant tunings.
