Tuning a Player Piano

[David Love]

Be prepared for inaccessibility (if it's an upright).  If you have to strip
mute it can be difficult to find room.  Even positioning individual mutes
can be hard in some sections.  I am often tempted to charge more for players
for this reason (though I don't).  It's definitely easier with an ETD where
you can tune chromatically moving only a single mute as you go.
