<BR>Joe,
<BR>
<BR>Good advice. It worked out okay, but having the dampers on would h=
ave made the actual tuning a more pleasurable experience. I didn't use=
a strip, I just rubber muted my way up, which was pretty easy, given that a=
ll of the pins were pre-marked and there are only two strings per note!
