"Concert tuning one of our recital pianos takes about six hours. After this treatment it will remain in perfect pitch for a long time." I suppose we would need their definition of a long time huh? " Even our most robust of performers has never caused the slightest loss of pitch during a recital because each string and tuning pin has been stabilised during tuning." I certainly hope that the glaze on this crock doesn't contain lead! :-) "A tuner who does a cheap job in an hour or so, may well leave the piano sounding quite good, but in all probability it will deteriorate within a few hours, days or weeks." No "cheap job" will last for long, perfect pitch wise, including their expensive "six hour" one. Jim Bryant (FL)
