[CAUT] Re: Ten things

[Keith Roberts]

#1) How to tell if a piano needs tuning. Clarity of fifths and fourths and
octaves vs. unisons. Chord structure (by sound) What a guitar tuning device
can tell you.
#2) What you can and can't set on a piano. What a pencil in the action
sounds like or a paperclip on the soundboard can do to the sound.
#3) What an action feels like when different adjustments are out. What is
proper aftertouch or too much drop. The damper upstop rail afterthud.
#4) Why hammers that are hard or worn produce undesirable sounds.
#5) Words that describe different tonal aspects of a note that are most
commonly used by technician. Fundamental etc.
