Mock tuning test ??

[Jim Coleman, Sr.]

HI Jim:

The detuning was determined to keep the overall tension on the piano
the same so that the examinee does not have to fight the movement of
the soundboard during the tuning test. One note is raised a prescribed
amount and the next note is lowered the same prescribed amount. Now,
this mysterious prescribed amount is arranged such that the examinee
does not get any freebies during his test. Therefore each note must be
changed from C1 to B7 or from notes #4 to #87.
