---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment This thread is touching on the same thing as the tuning frequency thread. On Friday I had a meeting with the three piano professors, and the chair of the department. Among things, one of the topics we discussed was my tuning. Not the frequency of it, but the end result. They just weren't very happy with how the pianos sounded. One of the profs told me she thought the bass on her two B's was too low. (I use the preset tuning on my SATIII). Another prof played c3-f3-f4, and said it sounded muddy. (I had just tuned this piano three days earlier). The upshot was that the next day I spent 6 hours tuning and voicing the two B's. Although I used the SATIII to get me in the ball park, I turned the machine off and went back to basics, listening carefully with my ears. I tuned the recital hall the next day, and used my ears. I didn't even turn the machine on. Sometimes we need a kick in the rear to remind us that tuning is still an aural sport. I got lazy, and relied too much on my little box.
