This reminded me of the dark ages for the PTG tuning test. When someone
wanted to take their test in the Reading Lancaster Chapter they had to
tune the Steinway upright a Willis Snyder's house. I believe it was a 1098
but I may be wrong. Now, was that torture or what!

#3. Karla Pfennig, a former PTG member and tuning examiner, sailed through
her original tuning test. It happened that her own piano, and
coincidentally her tuning 'practice' piano was a '1098'. She was ignorant
about the peculiarities of this model and just toughed it out. Needless to
say tuning -any- other piano thereafter was like falling off a log.
