<HTML>List I recently tuned a 3 year old Baldwin console.  The client told me tha= t thier piano didn't stay in tune for very long and that the previous tuner = had told her that it was probably because she didn't have it tuned regularly= when she first got it.  (This piano had not been tuned for over a yea= r after they first got it.)   Their tuner said that it hadn't been "trained" properly, and it would never = hold a tune very well. Now I had never heard of this and I told her so.  The piano was certai= nly out of tune when I first got there, but it had been about 9 months since= it was last tuned, so there was nothing out of the ordinary as far as I cou= ld see.  The pins were Baldwin-tight. I did my best to make my tuning as stable as possible, and I'll have to wait= till they call for another tuning before I'll find out if there is an actua= l problem or not.  But, has anyone ever heard of such a thing?  If a piano is not tuned r= egularly in its early life, it will never hold a tune?  I can't fathom= that this could be true...sounds like a line of BS.  But then, what do I know?
