Barrie, Terminology again. By "half note it" do you mean just going up aurally a half step at a time? That's basically the way I do my first chipping after a restringing job. BTW, we have Christopher Elton from London doing a Masterclass and a recital here on March 4th. He's the Head of Keyboard Studies at the Royal Academy of Music in London. Do you (or anyone else) know anything about him? Just curious. Avery >Every so often take the tension off the back and half note it starting >by setting all your "A"s to pitch.
