[pianotech] high and outside

[Susan Kline]

I was wondering if the situation was made worse by having one of the 
front legs
hanging in air, either when you saw it or when it was pitch raised? That 
can
throw things instantly, though not that far.

How you guys can stand tuning in places with such big humidity swings 
escapes me.
I'm surprised the West Coast and the high desert (ALWAYS dry) aren't 
crowded with
tuner refugees. Last week I tuned a little European style Yamaha on the 
coast
which I had last tuned nine years ago. It was still pretty presentable. 
The tenor
was a little sharp, and there were a few unisons in the treble needing 
some help.
