"Very, very interesting subject, and one that has been in my mind for a long time. Trying to set the pin with subtle " jerks " of the pin as oppossed to a straight pull. Recall seeing a video with Jim Coleman and George Defebaugh. Defebaugh made the remark that he was a jerk tuner, and had a chuckle. This led me to think that his way may have been , even in his mind, not considered the accepted and best way to tune. He was a highly respected tuner / technician , so I like to think that his method must have merit. Some list members on this topic use the term " bump " . I wonder if that means jerk. Carl ?
