[CAUT] Bechstein model B tuning stability

I suspect it has less to do with pin manipulation techniques than a consideration for just how much the pitch is changing between tunings and how to approach the pitch change. But that's me.

  Bill, Please tell us what the difference of technique is. As I suspect impact vs pull-push technique, which one is used on which piano.
  Thanks,

I tune for a university that has two model EN 9'2" Bechsteins. I have found that I get better tuning stability if I use different tuning technics with them. The one in the concert hall I tune one way and the one in the recital hall I tune a different way and they stay in tune better. If I tune both the same way, one will not have the tuning stability that the other one has. When I tune the B in my client's home, I use a different technic. It seems strange but it works.
