[pianotech] Fork and piano temperature/pitch

[John Formsma]

Well, Joe, you can carry all that stuff around with you if you want. :-)
I'm gonna stick with carrying my basic tuning-only kit.

For whatever it's worth, I use a Sanderson Accu-Fork. But I have a
traditional fork for backup in another kit.

Keeping it simple....
