<div>Greetings,</div>
<div> </div>
<div> Does anyone else out there feel that you need more time to tune Steinways? Is it just me or what? I am thinking of charging alittle more to tune them. I have been tuning for 5 years.</div>

<div><br>I've learned to "get along" with the S&S uprights the 52" old uprights. Now the F series consoles and the studios are another matter entirely!!!!!!!!!!! As for the grands I've not noticed an appreciable difference in tuning them, perhaps I've been tuning too long and just accept most everything that comes my way! Except the afore mentioned S&S consoles and studios, I wonder if they were meant to be tuned?
