If the customer doesn't notice anything, why go out of your way to improve it. It's like pianos leaving the factory, not all are 100%, but someone out there won't notice it and will buy it. So there is something to suit everyone's degree of proficiency. Anyone game for opening a 'factory seconds' piano store? Or do these just end up on those truck load sales. >...we do each have different sounds in our tunings. Just as two pianist play the same piece differently, tuners have a different perception of intervals. Not necessarily the ability to hear but just what sounds best to them. And there are pianos for every degree of perception. Jon Page Harwich Port, Cape Cod, Mass.
