[Farrell]

I have learned to do thesame thing as it much better for your back when tuning uprights and withtuning grands it gives you an easier position because we need to tune agrand with the tuning hammer in the direction of the tail.friendly greetingsfromAntares,Amsterdam, Holland"where music is, no harm can be"visit my website at :  http://www.concertpianoservice.nl/

> Am I the only person who tunes Squares on one knee?I prefer the angle of going straight across the cabinet that this positiongives me, rather than standing, and the position that it puts my body in.How weird is that? - it's ok..If I tune 3 squares a year, that's alot forme.-Phil Bondi (Fl.)tito@philbondi.com
