Who'd have thought? "Do you want it tuned while I'm there?", I asked. "No", he replied, "You tuned it not that long ago and it still sounds fine to me. Just the string". Yamaha G-3, last tuned in March, at 72° and 45% RH. The building today was at 74° and 77% RH. The piano sounded absolutely wretched. But it couldn't be too bad, no longer than it had been since I tuned it - never mind the 32% RH change since then. Duuh. Argh. <a href="https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives"></a> </blockquote> You know,,, the real kicker is that if it was somebody else money involved... not only would it have needed tuning... but you would have probably had to hear how shamefull you should feel for having tuned it so badly in the first place. A piano tuning should hold muuuucccchh longer then  3 months... the fellow no doubt has a piano in a courner of his basement that was tuned 12 years ago and sounds wonderfull still.... who was that masked tuner anyways ????
