Hi Ed, No, I try to keep my "strikes" at mezzopiano if possible. Oh, I used to be a "hot dog" tuner and had a basher that weighed in at 7 oz. (about 200 grams to the rest of the world) but I realized one day (as a hammer shank assembly went flying past my face, from a nearly new upright) that I was over doing it a bit. There are times that I do strike harder--but it is rare. At 07:49 PM 10/30/2005 -0500, you wrote: >Hi Don, > >But what about your 20 to 60 cents pitch correction.
