<font color='navy' size='2' face='Comic Sans MS, sans-serif'>Ok <font color="navy" face="Comic Sans MS, sans-serif" size="2">Well the test note. middle C, never was in tune. The unison was way noisy.<br>
Heating the tuning pins to 95 degrees to warm or cool the strings is a really bad idea IMO. Kiss the pinblock good bye within a short period of time.<br>
The idea showed an amazing mind and thought behind it and so I dislike pouring cold water on it.<br>
My 2 cents worth?<br>

I seem to remember some discussion about self tuning pianos in the past, but it looks like some significant strides have been made, although the system still cannot be retrofitted into existing pianos. <br>
