I watched a tuner work on a piano for the symphony many years ago. He put his lever on the pin at 12:00 and never turned it. He pulled it up to sharpen and pushed down to flatten. Even at that early stage in my career I thought that really was not the way to do it. With any kind of leverage you can bend a pin tuning that way. dp David M.
