Kreshakara, re “…hyper-cautious consumer…” in your original post, I think I understand. However, don’t spend too long on the analysis.

Thanks Piano Guy and Chris. The U1 (Jap) and Kemble K121CL seem good bets, and I will definitely keep an open mind when the time comes for some side by side comparisons – no point over spending!

Gill Steve and PianoGuy, thank you for sharing your words of wisdom. Your comments were appreciated and helped me cope with the frustration. The tuner in question did eventually visit and made the piano much more consistant to play and sound so much better (and for a rather reasonable fee!). For me,...

I would be grateful of advice, especially from within the trade. The tuner / technician I’ve used a couple times for just over a year seems technically very competent and importantly able to find and fix the mechanical niggles. However, making contact, getting commitment to make home visits, is real...
