[CAUT] forearm smash/Steve Brady

[Paul T Williams]

Jordan,

Once you've finished tuning, depress the damper pedal and use your 
forearms to solidly "play" the keys up and down the keyboard with both 
arms a couple of times, and then, check for any wandering unisons. It 
sounds horrible, but an effective way to check for unstable pin setting.

Hi All,

I just tried the Steve Brady "forearm smash" for the first time.  I was 
pleasantly suprised that it didn't really work!!  I guess I'm doing 
something right!!!  It scared the pants off the stage manager...thought I 
was upset at something.  I did find 3 unisons worth looking at, but 
all-in-all- the piano remained stable!  It's a good thing!!

Any of you tried it?

Best,
Paul
