[Les] I'm going to send a set of measurements I did on a piano which I tune every six months. This is a specially fine piano, and special customer, but the she is professional, a heavy-weight at Interlochen every summer, and an accompanist for numerous schools. What I'm wanting to know when people say they are tuning 8-10 a day if these standards are applied. I think this was an accident, but not by much. Now I can't to more than two or three a day to this level, but it is a standard toward which I strive. I may have bad hand-eye coordination, as try as I might I can't get a new customer piano in less than 90 minutes, usually longer. So what is the standard for 10 pianos a day? Below are the measurements: [Les] Overpull Measurements for YAMAHA,G3,Dooman.tun Mon Apr 26 11:34:18 2004 Average measurement = -1.1 cents A0 0.3 A#0 0.0 B0 -1.0 C1 -1.1 C#1 -0.5 D1 -1.7 D#1 0.4 E1 -3.0 F1 -2.3 F#1 -0.2 G1 -1.2 G#1 -1.5 A1 -0.2 A#1 -2.7 B1 -0.8 C2 -2.2 C#2 -1.9 D2 -1.4 D#2 -0.6 E2 -1.5 F2 -1.8 F#2 0.0 G2 0.0 G#2 0.0 A2 0.8 A#2 0.0 B2 0.0 C3 0.0 C#3 0.0 D3 0.0 D#3 0.0 E3 0.0 F3 0.0 F#3 0.0 G3 0.0 G#3 0.0 A3 0.3 A#3 0.0 B3 0.0 C4 0.0 C#4 0.0 D4 0.0 D#4 0.0 E4 0.0 F4 0.0 F#4 0.0 G4 0.0 G#4 0.0 A4 -0.6 A#4 0.0 B4 0.0 C5 0.0 C#5 0.0 D5 0.0 D#5 0.0 E5 0.0 F5 0.0 F#5 0.0 G5 0.0 G#5 0.0 A5 -1.1 A#5 0.0 B5 0.0 C6 0.0 C#6 0.0 D6 0.0 D#6 0.0 E6 0.0 F6 0.0 F#6 0.0 G6 0.0 G#6 0.0 A6 0.3 A#6 0.0 B6 0.0 C7 0.0 C#7 0.0 D7 0.0 D#7 0.0 E7 0.0 F7 0.0 F#7 0.0 G7 0.0 G#7 0.0 A7 -4.3 A#7 0.0 B7 0.0 C8 0.0
