Hi Jer, I agree with you. It's both. I'm always trying to improve my hammer technique. I'm always trying to improve the aural skils. I can bump push nudge whatever one wants to call it, a note but if I'm hearing it wrong and just leave it where it is, then that doesn't do any good either. If I can hear a perfect unison and don't settle the pin then what good is that. I've experienced this. I thought I had it itn and had to go back and correct a note or two or three or four, depending on the piano. I admit I'm newer to this than most here, but I m ust agree it's both hammer technique and aural skills that suffered on that tuning. Next time don't get sick! :-) or give me a try. :-) Marshall Marshall Gisondi Piano Technician Marshall's Piano Service pianotune05 at hotmail.com 215-510-9400 www.phillytuner.com Graduate of The School of Piano Technology for the Blind www.pianotuningschool.org Vancouver, WA -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
