<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi David,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>For me also a good way to check and =
modify
the FAC readings. Aural and machine combined.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This of course on a piano that is 10 or =
less off
the 440.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>For pitch raises I do the FAC only then =
measure A2.
If it measures say 50 C I enter 25 C and tune from A0 to the first =
plane
wire strings and then go with the 25% raise rewseting at C5 =
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If a larger than 100C raise is =
necessary it
is always at least two raises then fine tune.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am always astounded at thework that =
the III can
do for me. Almost like having an airconditioned cab on a hot combine.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hammer technique I believe to be a part =
of the
varing results that techs get.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Quick and fast is what seems to get the =
results
that I achieve.</FONT></DIV>
