Hello,

All of the tuners I work with , but one don't use what I understand by "test
blow" , only for a stucked string which is not rendering enough.
Beside, we all tune with a rather firm hand, but a very clear and pure
sound, so it is of big importance to have shoulder, arm and forearm very
quiet while playing notes with a good movement of the wrist.

The challenge is to obtain the firmer sound (solid sound) that allows moving
of the string with the less harshness to avoid earring fatigue . There is a
big difference in partial content between a pianist playing hard and a
pianist playing strong, the same for the tuner.

The sound we produce while playing for tuning will allow for a more or less
round and pleasing sound , depending of the way we play the note.

The service manager tunes relatively softly, and his tuning hold well but
for a few days only. Beside, if the pin is settled very deep it can be a
problem if we have to change pitch or correct the tuning, so I like to have
things in state of "equilibrium" and leave them evolve naturally, that mean
the setting of the pin happens with the piano played.

  Just a quick follow up on the above. The piano held up, except for C#5.
About midway through the first movement, the unison went out. Of course
that's where it is played over and over again. From the audience I could
here another unison out of tune here and there, but not as blatant as the
C#. After the concert, however, the pianist complimented me on the tuning.
He was grateful the piano held up as good as it did, not just for the
concert, but throughout the weekend during the rehearsals.
