When I was learning tuning in the '50's, Tuners Supply sold me a book with a title something like "Essays in Piano Tuning" in which the author made light of the idea that you could tune a piano using thirds. The greatest point of wisdom I recall receiving from the book was, be extremely careful tuning the bass in grands, or a string might break and come hit you, so you would join the ranks of the blind piano tuners. Anyone on the list ever have a string break at the OPPOSITE end while tuning? Bill Maxim, RPT P. S.
