<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>Folks, </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>Thanks for all the responses..I spent 2 hrs. =
there
yesterday on Piano#1..took some numbers from the worst
offenders.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>Conclusions:</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>My technique is fine.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>They need to be tuned more..i saw the =
'entertainment'
schedule for November..it involves at least one piano every
night.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>The numbers I got from the worst offenders =
were
interesting..for example: on one note, L Unison was +8.4 from 'in =
tune'(Using
the SATll), C Unison was -4.2, and the R Unison was +1.3..I have a page =
saved ot
the SAT for Pno.1.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>Octaves 5 and 6 were where the problem
was..suprised?!?</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>In his original note to me, he said the =
piano was
"hurting his ears"..well, if that's the case, then the club is going to =
have to
bone up for more frequent tunings. If I were to play a night on that =
piano,
being as picky as I am, I will admit that there were some notes that =
would
bother me, knowing what I know about tuning..but knowing the history of =
this
room and the entertainment schedule of the room aside, it still was =
not
'bad'.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>I did go ahead and stretch the wire..I also =
looked at
the coils, but made no attempt to tap them..Good suggestion Ron(?), but =
I have
already done that to this piano.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>The only cure for this issue, as far as I =
can tell, is
more frequent tunings.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>Thanks to all who contributed publicly and
privately..it's complaints like this that make you question your =
abilities
and/or your technique..both seem to be in good working
order.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
