The reference was to tuning theory - coincident partials - not hammer technique. Dave, With regard to speed, I'm not sure that tuning speed necessarily improves with time and practice after the intial break in period of a hundred pianos or so. I think it's more a function of your working environment. If your first job doing dealer prep or school pianos requires you to do a minimum of four a day, you will be building accuracy on top of speed rather than the other way around. At least that't how I did it. Carl Root, RPT
