This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment I know from first hand experience that changes in humidity can completely destroy a tuning. I've tuned several factory new pianos on arrival at the customer's home, and within a month, they were very much out of tune again. The second tuning held much better. I believe I can set the pin pretty good too. Richard -----Original Message----- From: pianotech-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org]On Behalf Of Peter Burns Sent: Friday, August 01, 2003 7:54 PM To: pianotech Subject: self-tuning piano Don Gilmore, the inventor, states "....My piano at home is audibly out of tune a fortnight after being tuned...." perhaps his troubles could be solved by one who knows how to "set" the tuning pin correctly? Can any techs explain the consequences of using this "self-tuning"system a second or third time after the piano has left the factory having been, so I understand, tuned exactly sharp enough for the piano to be "in tune" after the first heating of the strings. Surely this is not a receipe for the life long tuning care of any piano?
