This could be your problem try tuning the bass first, as percentage wise 
more of the pianos tension is there - less of the seesaw  affect on the 
back  when doing a large pitch.  Small seesaw  movements in the back 
will effect  to top treble more than the bass.  You have just put a 
couple of tons of strain on the back so it will take time to settle as 
the top treb need the least movement to put it out, you should not be to 
concerned about it if it moves a little - Like  David I. said, go back 
in 3 months if only to see if the pinblock has not puled away from the 
bracing's :-(

I love big pitches winding bases up from the grave.

Barrie,
