The whole point being to use my ears as little as possible, with any improvement in stability being an added benefit. - Mark Dierauf Ron Koval wrote: <blockquote cite="mid:%3CBLU111-W40007F213B579682A455C8DE2D0@phx.gbl%3E" type="cite"> <style> .hmmessage P { margin:0px; padding:0px } body.hmmessage { FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY:Tahoma } </style>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!   Ron Koval Concordia U. <hr>Helping your favorite cause is as easy as instant messaging. You IM, we give. <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://im.live.com/Messenger/IM/Home/?source=text_hotmail_join" target="_new">Learn more.</a></blockquote> </body> </html>
