It depends on what your defenition of 'stable' is. On a new piano; were the strings seated properly, were the coils and beckets tight, was the natural curve of the wire attended to? Environmental conditions and playing style are also attributable to stability. In general a change of pitch more than 4cps is not stable. Even a change of this amount is tenuous. This is where the phrase ' good enough' comes into play. For concert work, a change of 2cps is a reason for a second pass. Regards, Jon Page Harwich Port, Cape Cod, Mass.
