Aural and = machine combined. This of course on a piano that is 10 or less off the 440. For pitch raises I do the FAC only then measure A2. If it measures say = 50 C I enter 25 C and tune from A0 to the first plane wire strings and = then go with the 25% raise rewseting at C5=20 If a larger than 100C raise is necessary it is always at least two = raises then fine tune. I am always astounded at thework that the III can do for me. Almost like = having an airconditioned cab on a hot combine.=20 Hammer technique I believe to be a part of the varing results that techs = get. Quick and fast is what seems to get the results that I achieve.

I am wondering whether = it would be better to strip mute the piano, tune all the single strings, = perform checks on the intervals and octaves, and then go back and tune = all the unisons. =20 What would you advise that would produce the best, most accurate and = fastest result?
