Thanks for the kind words of encouragement and suggestions public and
private. Like I said in the original post, I am familiar with Blues..I just
never worked on them inside a Steinway.

This B had a nice warm tone to it..not alot of 'honk' when I played some R&R
on it, but for where it is and what it's being used for(Church), it is more
than adequate. my feeble attempt at anything classical sounded just fine,
with jazz sounding alive and vibrant..not harsh and shrill like some 'jazz
pianos' sound to me.

I tuned this B to my somewhat unusual 3:1 method, and it was just tuned last
week using the SAT3..well guess what..the 2 extreme octaves were stretched
beyond what the machine said was good with the top octave sounding almost a
quarter tone flat by the time I got to it. If I must say so myself, it was
sweet.

The Blues sounded good on it..Renner that is!
