Tuning Steinway Verticals

[David's Email]

I would like to see a demonstration by anyone of you who has no problems
tuning a 1098, Model F or 45" Steinway upright.  A national convention might
be a good place.  The piano would be picked randomly from within the
convention city.  All attending would be able to see if the rest us really
are just unskilled and/or just plain paranoid of this piano.
