Acrosonic -26c Set VT to A = +8c Tune A4, A3, proceed to tenor break and tune upwards. A3 @ -2c, pull up; raise C4 and up 5% ovrpl A4 @ -4c, raise 10% ovrpl to C5 raise 20% ovrpl around F5 (treb break) raise 30% ovrpl to C7 20% ovrpl to mid octave, then 10% ovrpl Bass raised to pitch (+8c) When done, A=441 and the piano sounded reasonably well. Of course it would sound better with another pass but for the extra time involved it's debatable. He's having a DC installed and another tuning in a few weeks so this will get him there. With the piano reacting to the tension change over time, I think this is better than two passes immediately. In other words, if the piano sounded like this before, it would have sounded fine to him and he probably would not have had it tuned. -- Regards, Jon Page
