Settling down from the sharp side is less effective. Also, if you push the tuning lever away from the plate going flat, and toward the plate going sharp, that seems to work. This is the reverse of what I intuitively do on most pianos. I agree with what Susan says in the snip below, and also that, once I get the sucker in tune, it really stays there. Glad that S&S has made improvements, though. Mary Smith UT-Austin > >I must say, though, that once I get one really in tune, it has an >interesting sound and is fun to play.
