<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greetings...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>New tuner here...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am currently taking the Randy Potter =
Piano Tech
Course.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am in the section of learning
temperaments.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A couple problems have arisen that I am =
sure you
generous folks could help me with.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>While working in the mid-section of the =
piano, I
encounter this..</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have all the necessary outside =
strings muted and
when I go to tune certain strings, one string sounds as =
if it
is two strings with very wide beats. Although I know it is only one =
string.
This phenomenon only happens in the mid-section.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I must therefore get under the piano =
and mute off
that particular string between the bridge and the hammer.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sometimes this works, other times it =
doesn't do so
well.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am wondering, could I have strings =
that need
seating or something else, or just plain worn out.
Suggestions???</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>

raising it

more
accurately???</FONT></DIV>
