    Well, I can scratch that off my bucket list. I have now seen Stradivarius and Hendrix in the same sentence.

    I don't know that they're tuned differently, although concert technicians are usually more skilled. However, they are certainly regulated and voiced differently. A concert grand piano, when used in a first class concert, is regulated to its optimum performance level, which means it's right on the edge between fantastic and failure. It may retain that level of performance for a very brief period of time. Pianos meant for home use are regulated to play well over the long haul as most are seldom, if ever, re-regulated.
