tuning fork

[David Ilvedson]

I use the tuning fork as the initial tool for explaining where the
customer's piano is as far as pitch is concerned.  I play A4 then sound the
fork and let the customer hear the difference if any...then I sound the
fork and show my SAT III's reading with the lights basically stopped.  Then
I play the note and we look at the how the SAT reacts...i.e. turns the left
the note is flat etc.  I explain that I can only do a fine, solid tuning
when the piano is within a few cents of pitch.  I explain going through the
piano twice with a pitch raise first and the extra fee I charge for this.

Richard, 
I'm curious.  What do you do with your tuning fork if you have a SAT III?

According to my SAT III, my tuning fork is 2.5 cents flat.  I'm guessing
that I can change this by filing something off of the fork- do I take some
from the upper ends, bottom end, middle?
