Ray, List,

That's interesting you do that.  If I chose to float the pitch of a piano
when finding the majority of the piano is sharper or flatter than the bass,
I change the bass section.

My reasoning:
Fewer number of strings to move greater distances resulting in less work
and a more stable tuning.
