<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello RicB and Liszt</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Have several Clavichords and Square =
Pianos on my
rounds. Tuning either presents the same problems as tuning any keyboard =
- just
get it in tune! :-)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I use a very small rubber wedge, a "T" =
hammer and
(for the middle 8ve. only) a CTS tuner. Have to be more careful in the =
Clavicord
to apply the same strike to every key because there's "nothing between =
you and
it" whereas in the Square Piano you have the intermediary of an =
escapement
action (however simple). The only time-consuming thing is ensuring you =
are
turning the correct tuning pin...! Never try to "set" the pin. Just turn =
it!</FONT></DIV>
