You know what? Sometimes we all still do this. We'll have it "set" only to find out, we really didn't quite have it set good enough. Much depends on the piano, as always, or US, our abilities, if we're rushed, not paying attention, or whatever, regardless, we all do it from time to time. That's one reason why it's a continued learning experience. We all learn from our mistakes.

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 <http://www.phillytuner.com/> Graduate of The School of Piano Technology for the Blind www.pianotuningschool.org <http://www.pianotuningschool.org/> Vancouver, WA -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
