I echo David's message (below).  The tuner that I apprenticed with years =
ago told me to learn to tune left-handed, that I'd be glad I did.  Never =
did, still can't, wish I could!

  At some point in the high treble, I simply move around and end up =
standing next to the treble side of the piano...looking towards the =
bass...hammer handle at 12 o'clock or so and my left hand is clear to =
strike the notes...actually quite comfortable.   I sit and stand through =
out the tuning...it is most important to change the way we situate =
ourselves during the tuning...different muscles etc.......

  Now why is that hard to picture? I don't get kinky with the piano, =
although there is a certain amount of intimacy involved - especially =
with those that respond in a meaningful way to my manipulation. It's =
just a simple description of how I sit to tune a grand piano high treble =

  I've only watched one other guy tune a grand piano - and I don't =
remember how he approached the high treble. Where do others sit while =
tuning the high treble?

  Now you've got me curious....
