Tuned a Kimball Petite Grand today. I'd never tuned one before, and was ready for a fight. But I show up and see a piano, which is indeed petite, not having been tuned for a couple of years, and in pretty darn good tune, considering. Very simple terminations. No felt anywhere near any strings. Plywood Bridge. Machine cut notches. Notch termination line consistently and purposely at the back of the pin holes throughout. Stable unisons. Not a false beat to be heard...not one! Easy to read front segment. Bass tone was a bit runty and...well you know...but it tuned up with nice keyboard wide multiple octaves and fifths. All in all I got the little runt sounding quite nice...a pleasant surprise. Jim Ialeggio -- Jim Ialeggio jim at grandpianosolutions.com 978 425-9026 Shirley Center, MA
