Unless of course you are as good as a machine ; ) R Moody If you were using an "A" fork and setting a temperament from F3 to F4 and you were adjusting the pitch say 5-8 cents sharper, you finish the temperament and start up to note 88 tuning center string only on a fully strip muted piano (given this is not the preferred way anymore, but many of us dinosaurs still do it that way) when you come to A4, you make little or no adjustment. You proceed up the piano and down into the bass then go back through tuning unisons. My question is when you go by A4 the second time would it tend to leave it flatter or sharper due to the additional tension of the pitch adjustment above A4? Why am I asking? A procedure change could eliminate the problem! Warren Ryan, Philip wrote: > > Warren, > > Have any of these pianos been used in connection with other instruments, > especially strings?
