<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I often use the same approach and I feel the same way
about the results. I'd even go one step further and say that when I return to
those pianos in three months for their next tuning that they have held a little
better and become progressively easier to tune, unless of course someone has
unplugged or otherwise neglected the climate control system, in which case we
are back to square one.</FONT></DIV>

room row...</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>I got to thinking yesterday about pitch adjustments to a bunch
of pianos in one day. <BR>Has anyone tried an "assembly line" approach
to doing a few at a time? That is:<BR> <BR>1 single pass each
piano<BR>2 go back and sencond- pass after letting them settle for the hour or
so it takes for #1?<BR> <BR>I'm just wondering about stability and ease
of tuning.<BR> <BR>I did three yesterday on similar P22's.
<BR>Pitch-raised (25-30 cents for solo and ensemble practice) all three and
then<BR>started a second pass on #3. <BR>I also "banged in" the piano with the
dampers up on #2,#3 after the PR<BR> <BR>When I finally got back to #1,
it seemed to settle a little bit easier into tune,<BR>but that could just be
wishfull thinking!<BR> <BR>Ron Koval<BR>Concordia U.<BR><BR>
