<td valign="top" style="font:inherit;">Tuned a Kimball Petite Grand today.<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>Stable unisons. Not a false beat to be heard...not one! Easy to read front segment.<BR><BR>Bass tone was a bit runty and...well you know...but it tuned up with nice keyboard wide multiple octaves and fifths.<BR><BR>All in all I got the little runt sounding quite nice...a pleasant surprise.<BR><BR>Jim Ialeggio<BR><BR>-- Jim Ialeggio <BR><a ymailto="mailto:jim@grandpianosolutions.com"
