Hola back, Kristinn I have sometimes found that in pianos that are nearly new, the wound strings sometimes stretch more than the unwound ones. I'm not sure why. Later on, the bass holds pitch while the treble sags. An Icelander, manufactured in Iceland, by Icelanders ... reminds me of an Arthur Fiedler story. It's true, because I saw it happen. He was a guest conductor, and I was playing in the Hamilton Philharmonic in Ontario, your basic two-bit orchestra (sometimes a bit-and-a-half.) Anyway, one of the percussionists had a mouth. Fiedler didn't like the sound of a cymbal, and asked what sort it was. The percussionist said it was a good one, made in Boston (with a smirk) ... Fiedler then told him not to make fun of Boston, good stuff was made in Boston, and he pulled on his own lapels (indicating himself) and said he was made in Boston. The percussionist answered, (no, I'm not making this up ...) "Often?" Fiedler just smiled a little and didn't say anything.
