Are all Winter & Co. pianos mucho crappy or just the ones I tune? Wound =
bichords up to G#36 (5 notes on the tenor bridge). Wild strings =
everywhere. Whiny trichords. Thumpy, wumpy lowest octave. Unstable as =
all get-out for about 3 notes either side of the tenor-treble break...

Seems like a lot of people, over the years, went shopping for a piano =
but were tricked by the nice-looking furniture!

Of course, today's wasn't really a completely fair example ... hadn't =
been tuned since 1985!

Oh, and another plug for Sanderson Pitch Correction -- this sucker was =
all over the place from 12 to 80 cents flat. Adjusted my percentages =
about every 6 to 12 notes. Ended up reaaaaaaal close. It always amazes =
me how well it works!
