Keith (or anyone who understands the original post: allow me to =
demonstrate ignorance and inexperience on a few points. Forgive me if =
this all makes sense to everyone else on the net but for me there are =
questions--as in, huh?

Alan, basically the piano needs to be stabilized no matter what tuning =
is presently on the piano.

>>>>> Okay.
  First you need to straighten the strings from the hitch pin to the =
bridge. Hope they did that at the factory but don't count on it.=20

  >>>>>  Tapping the loop down or more than that?

  Space the strings.=20

  >>>>> Okay.

  Pull a note up to pitch + 10 and with your brass rod put the kink in =
the string on both sides of the bridge and at the capo bar.=20

  >>>>> Kink on the string? What kink? Seat string to bridge and pull up =
against capo?=20


  Then straighten the coil.=20

  >>>>> Okay, lift and  tighten.

  Measure the pitch of the note and tell the owner that has to be done =
to every string. Probably the note dropped 25 cents and you're lucky. If =
it didn't drop (pick a likely looking string) the owner is lucky and =
tell her she just needs one of your tunings and the thing will be fine. =
Of course if it drops 50 cents it is going to take an extra hour. I =
figure two hours minimum just to get to a two pass tuning.=20

  >>>>> Okay.

  Pull the piano sharp based on how much the strings dropped when =
settling.=20

  >>>>> What formula/percentage do you use to calculate the overpull?

  Pull the action and do the settling.

  >>>>> Pull the action? How come? What is "the settling?"

  Make a pass and play the thing hard for a few minutes. Be sure you =
tightened any bass strings that might need it.

  >>>>> "Tighten" bass strings? As in remove loop, twist in direction of =
winding, and replace loop?=20

  Tune it. Schedule the next tuning in 3 months. Add some voicing. If =
she thinks she can get the other guy to do all that, get out of there =
quick.

  >>>>> Okay. This part I definitely get.
