[pianotech] Advantages/Disadvantages of muting techniques

[Ed Sutton]

Mark-

Welcome!
My personal opinion, from which I cannot part myself, is that I have seen people whose tunings I admire use a variety of methods to good result.
Careful follow up will tell you if your tunings are stable, whatever your method.

  Greetings to you all.



  My name is Mark Davis and I am a piano tuner/technician in South Africa.



  I read the pianotech archive a lot and generally find it very helpful and encouraging.



  My question  is, apart from personal opinions, what are the advantages and disadvantages of strip muting an entire piano compared to tuning unisons as you go? 

  What are the pros and cons of each way from a factual, scientific and practical point?



  Your answers would be much appreciated.



  Thank you,



  Mark Davis
