Snap Crackle Pop!

[Michelle Smith]

Hi Dave.  I did try the down and then up technique but it only clicked on
the way up.  Makes me think there is too much bend in the string at the
agraffe.  I was so nervous tuning this piano because it is brand new.  I
didn't think the lady would appreciate broken strings on her new toy.  =)

 

Thanks for your suggestion!

Michelle

Hi Michelle,

 

I find that is pretty common on new asian pianos, and pianos in general that
have been exposed to extreme moisture. It's a form of corrosion between the
string and agraffe. Something that I find helpful is to lower the pitch just
a tad, it'll go "click" then pull it up to where you want it...
