[pianotech] Yamaha GH1 tenor instability

How is it not holding?  Unisons?  Intervals?  Are you tuning aurally or with
an ETD?  In all honesty, that model never sounds in tune to me in the low
tenor.  Horrible scaling.

Has anyone else been as frustrated as I am trying to keep the tenor
octave of the Yamaha GH1 in tune?  Even if I pitch raise and
over-pull, by the end of the tuning, that section WILL NOT HOLD!   The
tuning pins are not loose in the block but I'm still thinking that my
next step might be to tap the tuning pins down into the pin block
along with tapping the strings down at their bearing points.  Any
suggestions?  Is this a structural problem with this model??
