Alan,
<p>I think people worry about this a lot more than they would need to.
I frequently tell them that if it sounds out of tune after the move, call
me; otherwise it can wait until the next 6-month or annual tuning.
<p>I have had experiences, though, where a vertical piano goes very out
of tune if the weight distribution on the four casters is different after
the move. If the floor is uneven, a small repositioning of as little
as 6" can make a difference. I don't move the piano after I tune
it unless I have no option.
<p>Regards,
<br>Clyde
