Not sure it is necessarily more stable. I've tried several different ways, and can get the same stability with all of them. Some of them feel better than others, and the piano does make a difference in what lever technique works best. I don't see how a normal overshoot, one string at a time, can make a tuning less stable. After all, the net tension stays the same as if you use those small movements without overshoot.

But nowadays, I'm not so sure. <G> Whatever I'm doing works, but I'm not sure I could describe it very well using words. I think we basically find what works well for us as individuals. -- JF -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
