The piano was close to pitch with the low tenor being slightly sharp. This section kept creeping sharp even after multiple passes. The final pass found most notes in the temperament section to be 2 cents sharp. This is my 3rd tuning on this piano in 2 years and it is only 2 years old. The home is kept at 57 degrees F during the day and 62 while occupied. Could this have a negative effect on the tuning stability. Anyone else struggle with this Boston model? John Minor University of Illinois Are you sure about the model number? The smallest Boston is a 118, which is a 45" studio. I have several of those, but they seem to be holding up quite well, considering the school environment. Obviously they were flat in the mid tenor when I tuned them last week, but they tuned right up. I tune a 118 in a classroom once a month, and have no problem with it.
