Ron, Would you also say this about brand new, out of the box pianos that have had nothing done to them since they left the factory in Japan? I have 9 of those that came in yesterday! :-) Never been in a store or anything! Just wondering if it would do any good to do a little "seating" on those! I've been doing some "prep" tuning just to make them usable but the next time, do you think I should do a little "seating" before I tune? The three I tuned today, I noticed a few false beats but nothing really serious.
