I find customers relate to a percentage. If I tell them the piano is 50% out 
of tune (either flat or sharp, but most of the time flat), when normally it 
is only supposed to be 5 - 10% out of tune, they can understand the need for 
a "pitch stabilization."

You do bring up a very interesting question, however. I have never thought of 
using the increased pounds of tension on the soundboard as a concept that 
would be of interest to the customer. Does anyone have those figures?
