Quite the lively piano yas gots dar. Who shot it ? <br>
Hmm..., your dates below start in October of 2002 and the next time you
see the piano it drops predictably enough I suppose... but then ...
what..... you have a poisoned tipped tuning hammer ? These pitches are
before you start tuning I suppose... but where did you leave them ?
440 blank each time ? Assuming thats so... then from August of 2003
onwards the thang almost seems immune to RH changes. <br>
<br>
Actually... it almost looks like a fairly typical old beater with flat
panel that you tuned for the first time in October 2002. You got any
numbers that go farther back ?<br>
<br>

<pre><i>If one had access to an old WurliTzer grand with the split/wedged pins in a
metal block, I'm sure you could set the pins so tight that they are the
same as welded.
Of course, then there might be other tuning stability factors involved. ;-}
One I've serviced since 1984:
4'9" 1931 vintage
10/02 - 441Hz - 60%
2/03 - 438.1 - 32%
8/03 - 439.7 - 75%
2/04 - 439.3 - 34%
6/04 - 439.7 - 58%
1/05 - 439.7 - 32%
NOT a scientific study, only anecdotal.
