I've learned to "get along" with the S&S uprights the 52" old uprights. Now
the F series consoles and the studios are another matter entirely!!!!!!!!!!!
As for the grands I've not noticed an appreciable difference in tuning them,
perhaps I've been tuning too long and just accept most everything that comes
my way! Except the afore mentioned S&S consoles and studios, I wonder if
they were meant to be tuned?
