<div>Thanks, Mark. I was wondering the same thing. I tune quite a few for a dealer I work for and have never noticed any particular problems. The verticals, however, are a different can of worms. I tuned two new UP 115E's today. Or tried to, anyway. Boy, am I tired! :-( The Yamaha U1 I also tuned today, by comparison, was a piece of cake! :-) </div> <div> </div> <div>Avery<br> </div> <div><span class="gmail_quote">On 8/17/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Mark Wisner</b> <<a href="mailto:mwisner@earthlink.net">mwisner@earthlink.net</a>> wrote:</span> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid"> <div> <p>What do you mean by "match the piano scaling"?  Or, more importantly, what is the problem with the two pianos?</p> <p>Mark Wisner<br><br><br><br></p> <blockquote style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid">-----Original Message----- <br>From: Michael Magness <br>Sent: Aug 16, 2007 3:11 PM <br>To: Pianotech List <br>Subject: Problems With Duplex Scaling Of Pearl River Grands? <br><br>I am posing the question to anyone who has experience with Pearl River Grands of recent(within the last year)manufacture. I have a report of 2 grands on a dealers floor that have duplex scaling that does not "match" with the piano scaling. The non-PTG technician has blocked the string tails where the duplex scaling is with a felt strip woven in. A friend at the dealership has mentioned this to me in a questioning way. I have no experience with Pearl River pianos just the tech's work. I have noticed he doesen't pound his tunings in and am wondering if this is perhaps the cause? <br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Michael Magness<br>Magness Piano Service<br>608-786-4404<br><a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.ifixpianos.com/" target="_blank">www.IFixPianos.com</a><br> email <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="mailto:mike@ifixpianos.com" target="_blank">mike@ifixpianos.com</a> </blockquote></div></blockquote></div><br>
