As far as tuning any of these cheep spinet pianos, 
I have struggled with it for years.
 
The first thing I conceived is that, they have had 
the piano for years and they know how it sounds.   What I do does 
improve it, so my work has not gone in vane.   
 
Also I know that probably, no one else is going to 
come along and say I did a terrible job and fix the hole problem.   
anyone that does the White House piano is not going to come along and question 
my work.   
 
When you are confronted with a pore piano like 
this, just think that all people's have there standards and just do the best you 
can with a bad situation.

  I don't get it.  You say you tuned two 
  Winter spinets, and then you say later that they really can't be 
  tuned.  How can you tune a piano 
  that is untunable?  I guess you do the best you can and call it 
  partially, mostly tuned.  Do you tell the customer that it is partially, 
  mostly tuned or do you hope she doesn't recognize the difference and is happy 
  with any improvement?
