Gee, maybe I missed that.   Maybe I'm recalling the video.  Somewhere in 
there I seem to remember the caution to not "treat the tuning pin like a slot 
machine" and never move the pin up or down.  At any rate, I took that advice 
to heart before coming across a tuner tuning a piano at the Chicago Cultural 
Center.  Clearly his movements were vertical!  That prompted me to meet with 
a local RPT and indeed his advice was to adopt some vertical motion after 
completing the turning process.  (ric's recent post described it best.)

Can you give me a page number on the section describing vertical motion of 
the pin?  I'd love to read it.  (or re-read it)

Thanks
