Have you ever heard of this?"

Quentin,
Yes, I've heard that. It is correct, in part. The Bass will effect the =
treble, but does not manifest itself in direct relationship with the =
soundboard as much as it directly affects the PLATE. This is why Dr. =
Sanderson came up with the technique of tuning from the bottom up. He =
detuned/tuned his wife's piano gazillion times and came to the =
unmistakable conclusion that starting from the bottom and tuning all =
unisons, as you go to the top, will give the most stable end result. I =
concur!
