The question is, is the room environment wildly varying? the last tuner a klutz? or some defect in the piano?. Regarding the "last tuner", I was the last tuner, who followed myself, who followed a RCT tuning done as part of a seminar by a local chapter. I would love to bring this piano to a "National" and have any person tune it by whatever---machine or aural method. Then critique it the next day by any tuner and expect to hear, "This is what you call a professional tuning?" What is causing this would make a great seminar. Warped plate? pin block not set? loose struts? too much bearing? "warped soundboard"? or ?? ---rm
