Jim, I was lucky enough to learn how to tune these pianos from Karla. She showed me how to do a good job, and I am forever grateful! Regards, Mary P.S. Twelve years ago or so she passed along to me the between-string voicing tool you made from brass rod that has been flattened and the needle held in place by a tiny machine screw. I still carry it in my kit and use it several times a week. Excellent tool. Thanks! > > >#3. Karla Pfennig, a former PTG member and tuning examiner, sailed >through her original tuning test.
