Marshall's, I remember once I was talking to a very good tuner that came out of our school about speed of pitch raise. I told him, I can tune the strings fast enough, it is just that changing the mute takes so long. He with his perfect pitch came back with, well that's your problem, I don't use a mute. Anything you do someone else can do it better. I remember how the guild had a tune off between the machine and a well respected tuner and one time the ear won and the next time the machine would. Just work at your own technique and let your style grow. The most important thing is to do good work.

Someone mentioned starting with A 0. Was this just an example? The reason I asked is this. I saw a piano tech. tune from a0 to c88 with an edt and then do unisons. In school we pulled the a slightly sharp and did the pitch raise, and typically it woudl fall on pitch ir we didn't under or over shoot. So then what method do you guys use to do the pitch raise because if we're talking about going through a regular tuning sequence, is it still possible to do that and have it raisedin in 10 minutes having to insert mutes strip mutes etc. Marshall Marshall Gisondi Piano Technician Marshall's Piano Service pianotune05 at hotmail.com 215-510-9400 www.phillytuner.com Graduate of The School of Piano Technology for the Blind www.pianotuningschool.org Vancouver, WA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The New Busy think 9 to 5 is a cute idea.
