That is the way pianists do intricate passages.

One way I've been able to reduce pounding damage is by learning to = tune with my opposite hand: not only does it reduce stress on my limbs = but it also increases my tuning speed so that I don't have to shift = position at either end of a grand; I just switch hands if I need to. = I've also gotten a more ergonomic tuning lever. Even by doing that I still feel discomfort in my hands, especially = after a heavy day of tuning. If anyone has any suggestions, a brand name = to try or if it's better to see a specialist about this sort of thing, I = eagerly await your post.
