[Experts] Tuning a Yamaha U3 upright piano

[Farrell]

Personally, I don't think who works on the piano should be treated any differenly than who works on the automobile, artwork, or television. Granted, tons of benefit to experience and tuning often. BUT, if the dude wants to tune his own piano, good for him. His best bet would be to find a good tech that will work by the hour for a few hours and work out a tuning the owner likes, and then he can record it or whatever so that he can reproduce it on his Tunelab program.
