---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi Michael & List, First of all, my apologies for sounding a bit 'priggish' over the muting strip business. But it really is an issue here. As Michael points out these things are discussed in the PTA conventions, and I imagine it is a brave 'tested' member of PTA who admits to using temperament muting. Another learning curve certainly involves first visiting grand pianos as a novice tuner. Yet another situation of being thown in a the deep end sometimes. I vividly remember my first experience, on my own, trying to replace a S&S pedal lyre with the owner watching! Another situation was being unable to remove the music desk from an older Broadwood grand because I hadn't been told about the hidden little notch in the runners. The tiny (sometimes almost invisible) screws holding the key fall into its slots can be another pitfall for the novice too. I think that all technicians' training programmes should have a module on all the common piano makes with idiosyncratic design aspects.
