There are many factors related to physics and mathematics (like the material used and the design of the scale or the effect of 'inharmonicity') involved in tuning that there is no 'standard tuning', so a decision still has to be taken for basically every piano and the tuner has to take some decisions in order to leave the piano in optimal conditions. Now the software and technolgy is very advanced and the best piano tuners around the world acknowledge their practical use. In the past, using a ETD (electronic tuning device) was regarded as 'cheating' or as synonym of a mediocre tuner.
