Something to facilitate the tuning process: Since the tuning pins are in another area code than the keyboard, it is wise to index the pins for tuning the temperament (if tuning aurally). Enlarge the center hole on front rail punchings and mark the names of the note on them. Place them onto the pins setting the temperament after the section has been strip muted. Now you'll only need is a good pair of field glasses to read the letters on the punchings instead of crawling across the strings.
