Tom Cole writes: "I'm very careful to listen for a pitch change as soon as I move the pin. If not, then I will lower the pitch slightly, to get the string to move, rather than pull it up any further and risk breakage." This technique makes tons of sense to me! It doesn't necessarily involve a wholesale lowering of tension before turning every pin, but it does involve *maintaining awareness* while tuning. I think this is the technique that most are stating, just that Tom put it very clearly. Regards, John Piesik, RPT Oceanside, CA
