[pianotech] Pounding

[William Truitt]

I have found that what seems to work best (for me at least) are 4 or 5
rapidly repeated blows (bap-bap-bap-bap-bap) at a medium or medium hard
blow, rather than a single, drive that sucker through the floor mondo blow.
It's easier on the piano and me, and I find that it settles things nicely,
or the pin will move if I did not have it set properly.

For recital and concert tunings I do pound. This is of course after I have 
set the pin. I am sure that no one out there is able to set every single pin

in the block so that it will not move under heavy playing, by some of our 
over exuberant pianists, without pounding at least a couple of times. I feel

that to be sure that I have set correctly, a few hard hits does no harm, and

reassures me that the tuning will be stable through the entire performance.
