Sorry to impose such an ignorant question on a group that is obviously so knowledgeable... I just purchased an old piano that I am interested in restoring and I subscribed to this group to just listen in and learn as much as possible via osmosis. What I, as a novice do not understand is the tuning process in general. I am an accomplished trumpet player and have a pretty good ear. What I'm asking myself is... do you not use any mechanical aids in tuning pianos? It seems to the uneducated (like me) that you would set an electronic chromatic tuner, plunk each key and adjust it based on the instrument. Obviously this is deeply incorrect. Would someone in the group be willing to offer a short primer on general tuning procedure and theory? --- Ronald W.
