OK, so you develop a sense of style and stretch - big deal - IS IT REPEATABLE ????? Just to put this where I can wrap my head around it. Ignoring the style for a minute and focus on the stretch part. Say, for example, you have tuned for someone who loves your tuning and you can quantify the stretch factor as 10% stretch. Now, in all of your sense of style and stretch, you are going to tell me that a year from now, you are going to be able to come back to that same piano and tune it with 10% stretch.
