This is very interesting. If I see a piano over and over again, I 
usually can just check the top four or five notes. They rarely need to 
be changed.

I wonder what is happening. Do you feel it has some relationship to the 
warm humid climate? Pianos tend to be pretty stable here, because the 
summers are dry and the winters are mild but wet, so the furnaces can 
dry out the air but don't need to work all that hard. Only the last few 
years we've had warm rains spring and fall, and even some heavy rains in 
the summer. I hope we don't lose that piano-friendly climate over time.
