Tuning Time

[RustRazor@AOL.COM]

Terry,

Do you use an ETD?  I use the SAT II and my tuning time is generally under an 
hour, especially for small pianos.  After I tune the strip-muted center 
strings, I check all the intervals by ear and, although I usually have to 
make some adjustments here and there, the SAT comes up with a temperment 
that's pretty close and easy to fix.  When I'm finished tuning, the piano 
sounds as though it was tuned by ear, but in less time and less STRESS.  If 
you're tuning by ear you may find that the investment will pay for itself in 
short time.
