Ezell You'd be surprised at how good a speed tuning will sound. Some pianos won't sound any better after three hours of tuning as opposed to this brief encounter. There is a world record. Steve Fairchild from Connecticut claims this. At a seminar he gave a demonstration of a 1/2 step pitch raise and tuning in 18 minutes. Check the Guinnes Book to check his record.
