anothe piano question

[John Ross]

When you move an upright piano, because it has 4 points of contact, the stresses can change. So if the floor is uneven, yes you could expect a change. I wouldn't have thought that much though.
When you move it back to it's original position, does it go back toward tune?
If so, that would confirm, the move being the reason.
Is there a difference in heat or cool, at where it is moved?
Why doesn't she put it where she wants, then have it tuned??

  Hi everyone again,
  Had a call today from a lady today who teaches piano at a church. She uses their piano and is their pianist.  She said that the piano  gets moved after it's tuned to whre she wants it, and when she moves it, it goes a quarter step flat from about c3 down into the bass.  It's a Wurlitzer spinet.  Is this normal?  I know moving a piano can knock it ot of tune, but is ths kind of much?  Also is the fact that it's a wurlitzer prt of the issue?  Could it be the tuning isn't stable enough. I'm not their regular tuner.  Any ideas?  Thanks everyone.
  Marshall
