Jordan, Once you've finished tuning, depress the damper pedal and use your forearms to solidly "play" the keys up and down the keyboard with both arms a couple of times, and then, check for any wandering unisons. It sounds horrible, but an effective way to check for unstable pin setting.

I was pleasantly suprised that it didn't really work!! I guess I'm doing something right!!! It scared the pants off the stage manager...thought I was upset at something. I did find 3 unisons worth looking at, but all-in-all- the piano remained stable! It's a good thing!! Any of you tried it?
