This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Forgive me if I'm rehashing a subject that has been discussed before, = but I've been trying a lot of different tuning patterns on many = different pianos. Although I've only been tuning part-time for two = years now, I seem to keep coming back to the pattern I first learned. = Here is what I do. 1. Strip mute the entire piano 2. Tune the temperament (I use a Vrtituner but prefer to do aural tuning = checks as I go) 3. Tune octaves down to the tenor/bass break (using aural checks to make = sure everything sounds ok) 4. Tune octaves up all the way to C88 (using aural checks to make sure = everything sounds ok) 5. Using the back muting method with a single rubber mute, pull in all = the unisons from C88 on down to the bass/tenor break. 6. Tune down to A0 from the tenor/bass break, pulling in the bi-chords = as I go along. That's it. I've tried doing unisons as I go but for some reason, I seem = to get a better tuning overall if I use the above method. I curious what some you you seasoned veterans think about this method - = it's advantages and/or drawbacks. =20 What patterns have you found to work best? Thanks in advance for your responses!
