My first tuning attempt

[Mark Purney]

I had my first tuning lesson today - very enjoyable. Mr. Coleman is a 
great instructor and one of the nicest people you'd ever meet. He showed 
me how to tune unisons in the middle octave and how to take 
inharmonicity readings in Tunelab.

After that I went over to my church to practice tuning unisons on the 
old spinet that nobody uses, and I got a bit carried away. I ended up 
tuning the whole piano. It took about 3 hours, and I found the highest 
octave to be very challenging, but I started to get the hang of it (I 
think).

I decided to make audio recordings of the piano before and after tuning 
so I could compare. I think I did okay for a first try, but I'd 
appreciate any advice or pointers on what I did wrong, etc. The whole 
piano was a little flat and I did not use overpull. I started at A0 and 
went up in order, so that may be why the lower octaves seem a little off 
from the higher octaves.
