<div> Hi Alicia,<br> <br> <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Depending on just what your tuning issues are with this instrument, it may help to make the lowest note in your temperament octave the lowest note with non-wound strings on the long bridge (on a small piano, often higher than F3 but not usually higher than A3).<br> <br> Alan Eder<br> </font></div> <div> <br> </div> <div> <br> </div> -----Original Message-----<br> From: A E <eve_ane@hotmail.co.uk><br> To: pianotech@ptg.org<br> Sent: Mon, 5 May 2008 2:14 pm<br> Subject: Tuning<br> <br> <div id="AOLMsgPart_2_1696c1a3-a2b1-402e-8477-aa71c88f989a"> <style>#AOLMsgPart_2_1696c1a3-a2b1-402e-8477-aa71c88f989a .hmmessage P{margin:0px;padding:0px}#AOLMsgPart_2_1696c1a3-a2b1-402e-8477-aa71c88f989a body.hmmessage{FONT-SIZE: 10pt;FONT-FAMILY:Tahoma}</style> Hi,<br>  <br> I've got  a question concerning tuning, my piano is a strange one it was made in Ukraine about 15-20 years ago, and has recieved alot of abuse, including being moved over the atlantic, and being dropped... Strangely enough, soundboard remained in tact, but I'm having issues tuning it, it's a 42inch console upright. I was thinking of trying out tuning in the C4-C5 for temperament instead of F3-F4. Does anyone have any experience trying this out?<br>  <br> Sincerely,<br> Alicia<br> <br> <hr>Invite your Facebook friends to Messenger! <a target="_blank" href="http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/msnnkmgl0010000010ukm/direct/01/">Get Started! </a>= </div>  <div id='u8CA7D29E3017DBD-14A4-271C' class='aol_ad_footer'><FONT style="color: black; font: normal 10pt ARIAL, SAN-SERIF;"><HR style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px">Plan your next roadtrip with <A title="http://www.mapquest.com/?ncid=mpqmap00030000000004" href="http://www.mapquest.com/?ncid=mpqmap00030000000004" target="_blank">MapQuest.com</A>: America's #1 Mapping Site.</FONT> </div>
