[CAUT] Tuning with right hand vs. Left

[Jim Busby]

Tony,

I've heard just the opposite; Right hand for grands, left for uprights. All I know is I wish I had started using both hands long ago! Kudos to you.

I'm a young tech. compared to many of you. I turn 31 tomorrow and have been
a tech. for 10 years now.  I'm a right handed person but when I tune Grands
I've always used my left hand all the way through the treble and switch to
my right in the bass. I've always have had good solid tunings doing it that
way.    For uprights I always use my left.
I've always wondered since it works for me is there is a reason on why I
should use my right hand for grands.
