I suspect it has less to do with pin manipulation techniques than a consideration for just how much the pitch is changing between tunings and how to approach the pitch change. But that's me.

As I suspect impact vs pull-push technique, which one is used on which piano. Thanks, Marcel Carey, RPT Sherbrooke, QC > > > I have found out one thing about Bechsteins from my personal experience and I don't know if it is just me or it really is the instruments. I tune for a university that has two model EN 9'2" Bechsteins. I have found that I get better tuning stability if I use different tuning technics with them. The one in the concert hall I tune one way and the one in the recital hall I tune a different way and they stay in tune better. If I tune both the same way, one will not have the tuning stability that the other one has. When I tune the B in my client's home, I use a different technic. It seems strange but it works. > > > > God bless > > > > Bill Balmer, RPT > > University of Findlay and Ohio Northern University > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cliquez moins, lisez plus : Hotmail sur le nouveau MSN -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
