[CAUT] pitch raises in practice room row...

[reggaepass at aol.com]

...and the reason(s) for this phenomenon is/are what exactly?  Ron N. has made compelling arguments in the past that it is not the string stretching over time.  So what does that leave...wire bends? the bridge? the soundboard?

Ron,



 



I’ve noticed this, and that is why I
pitch raise then spend time prepping, regulating, repairing, etc. and when I do
the fine tuning it does seem to be easier. I’ve always called it “letting
the piano catch its breath”. I just thought it was my imagination…

I got to thinking yesterday about
pitch adjustments to a bunch of pianos in one day.  

Has anyone tried an "assembly line" approach to doing a few at a
time?  That is:

 

1 single pass each piano

2 go back and sencond- pass after letting them settle for the hour or so it
takes for #1?

 

I'm just wondering about stability and ease of tuning.

 

I did three yesterday on similar P22's. 

Pitch-raised (25-30 cents for solo and ensemble practice) all three and then

started a second pass on #3. 

I also "banged in" the piano with the dampers up on #2,#3 after the
PR

 

When I finally got back to #1, it seemed to settle a little bit easier into
tune,

but that could just be wishfull thinking!
