Yes, the longer the piano has sat untouched, the more important it is to 
make that little nudge downwards as the first motion. The smallest tap or 
push that is convenient, just enough to get the pitch to change. I do that 
with most tuning, with or without the slap, on the first pass.

Does it seem to you that, even though we are on CAUT, we're dealing with 
elementary topics here? Never mind, it doesn't hurt to go over things again.
