<html> <body> Isaac, I've been told that a piano should be tuned in the room where it will be performed on.  I have noted that the way I have tuned our grand has changed with moving it to different rooms.  I stretched it more in a very small room.  Is this typical?

The use of the VT learned me how to recognize more a better partial matching between octaves, not pushing too much the strech even when room accoustic allow for it.   Greetings       Pianomania Isaac OLEG accordeur - reparateur - concert <a= href="http://maps.yahoo.com/py/maps.py?Pyt=Tmap&addr=19+rue+Jules= +Ferry&csz=94400+VITRY+sur+SEINE&country=us">19 rue Jules= Ferry 94400 VITRY sur SEINE</a> <a href="mailto:oleg-i@noos.fr">oleg-i@noos.fr</a> tel: fax: mobile: 033 01 47 18 06 98 33 01 47 18 06 90 033 06 60 42 58 77     <a href="http://www.plaxo.com/signature/">Powered by Plaxo</a> <a= href="http://www.plaxo.com/signature/">Want a signature like= this?</a> <dl> <dd>-----Message d'origine----- <dd>De : pianotech-bounces@ptg.org [<a= href="mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org"= eudora="autourl">mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org</a>]De la part de= Farrell <dd>Envoyé : dimanche 9 novembre 2003 18:37 <dd>À : Pianotech <dd>Objet : Re: Keith Jarrett interview <dd>A good read.
