Could you explain why strip muting the piano would help in tuning this particular piano? >Don't overshoot as much on a pitch raise as with other pianos (10%). Is this because on the 1098 and the F it will often will go sharp instead of flat with a pitch raise? Have you ever noticed that it will often go flat instead of sharp with a pitch lower? >Do a fairly quick rough tune first, then a fine tune. In my experience if you have to pitch raise it figure on at least three passes to tune them and your right about not wasting a lot of time on the first passes. They won't stay where you leave them. >Using impact type techniques as opposed to a slow >pull should work better with this fine instrument. > Bill Bremmer RPT > Madison, Wisconsin > > ilvey Pacifica, CA ilvey@a.crl.com
