Elian, 1/2 beat ? So what. In how long ? Maybe this piano needs a longer time period to settle since it was neglected for so long a time. How many tunings have you given it since it was pulled up? I had a similar problem keeping one in tune, The piano was brought here from a few hundred miles inland. So, not only was the overall tension affecting the tuning; but the climate as well. (Inland to coastal ). Maybe this piano does not hold a tune well, maybe he's a banger . . . that's the other thread. You are just becoming famliar with it. If you've tapped the string to the bridge, and made sure the loops are down at the hitch pins; try seating the strings at the v-bar. I have not seen a Yamaha with poorly aligned coils, so that may not be an issue.
