So the Church should get special treatment but it's ok for their
non-clerical brethren to get the shaft? (<g> couldn't resist!)<br>

<div>I haven't had loose tuning pin issues on the GA1, but I can
tell you it has the worst scale and tuning issues I have ever
comes across.

<div>I tune quite a few of them, but there is one tune for a
Church (I can't believe a dealer would sell this piano to a
church), that gets tuned every 3 months. The tenor break is
always at least ±15 cents.</div>

<div>On the other hand, the Kawai GM-2 (small, inexpensive
piano), is one of the most stable pianos that I tune. Go
figure.</div>
