Who, me? Well, as an aural tuner for over 20 years, I don't know if I can be entirely objective, but, if you listen as you tune, you can certainly get in the ballpark using some fairly generic curves on an ETD. It's not worth losing sleep over some pretty subtle differences here. Weren't we just talking about historical tunings being all but invisible to some? If you, as a tech cannot hear problems w/ a certain curve on a ETD, or that they need a bit of fudging, it is questionable that your customer will either. Just my opinion Steve ;-) >>> ETomlinCF3 <ETomlinCF3@aol.com> 01/22/98 10:50am >>> The scales are similar on all Consoles...44.5 inches tall now...even the studio Yamaha has a similar scale. The C1 and recent G1's are similar enough to use the same tuning on them. Put a good tuning in the machine and go. I am sure Steve can chime in on this one. Ed Tomlinson Tomlinson Tuning and Repair << I am getting somewhat overwhelmed by the number of different Yamaha piano models there are and which ones, (scalewise) are the same piano. There must be at least 3 different models of consoles that have D#3 at their first treble note with 2 wound string notes following. Does anyone have the scoop on this? Same thing on the C-1 and G-1. Is the scale the same so one generic tuning would do in memory. Does anyone have a list of this kind of stuff?
