[pianotech] tuned my first "bird_cage" piano

[Rob McCall]

I think I'm the "Bob" you're referring to...  :-)

I would use a Papps treble mute and use my SAT IV. Probably start at the Bass/tenor break and work my way up to the top tuning the center string, then the right to the center, then the left to the center and then move on to the next note. Then work down the bass section after I've reached the top. I'd use a rubber mute in the bichord bass section.

Regards,

Rob McCall
