Conrad,</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=676364718-07012003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I am
sorry that I cannot help with Tune Lab. However I am curious about the need to
tune 6 to 8 times per year, you should discuss this with your
technician. You obviously have a sensitive ear to be as demanding as you
are. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=676364718-07012003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>Learning about tuning the way that you describe below is not impossible
but it is not likely to get the results that you desire and could result in
doubling or tripling your annual tunings with much additional
frusturation.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=676364718-07012003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>My
suggestion would be: If you are not a PTG member, look for a chapter near you
and join. Purchase the suggested study materials, go to meetings, get to know
the people in the chapter and find someone whom will coach you. This is an art
craft combined that takes years to master.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=676364718-07012003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>If you
do get the program that you desire and can make it work to your satisfaction,
please let us know.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

face="Times New Roman" size=3 FAMILY="SERIF">Greetings to everyone from a new
mailing list subscriber. I read Benny L. Tucker's answer in the June 4,
2002 issue and thought he or someone like him could help me. I need to
find an exact TuneLab Pro .tun file for our 1989 Yamaha Disklavier MX100A
Piano serial #4676936 that my wife and I bought new in 1990. I am very picky
about the tuning (usually 6 to 8 per year) and at $75.00 a time it gets a bit
costly for a retired person on a fixed income. So I used my wife's old Gateway
Solo 2500 Pentium II 300Mz with TuneLab Pro software and a Yamahau3.tun file
and went to work tuning our Disklavier. I had purchased a Touch Up Tool
Kit from www.stevespianorepair.com a few days previous for $68.00 that came
with a tuning instruction CD. I went through all the info on tuning unisons
& octaves, hearing beats &! counting them & almost all the info on
tuning pianos on the CD. Then I read Tuning to Robert Scott's TuneLab-2.0 on
the CD. I tried using the average.tun file as suggested on the CD, before I
used the Yamahau3.tun file, but the octaves stunk. The Yamahau3 tuning
sounds real close but not perfect to my ears. I now have learned that my
Piano is much closer to being a Yamaha U1 upright. It is 49 3/4 inches from
the floor to the lid top. After tuning our piano with TuneLab Pro using
the Yamahau3.tun file I did some inharmonicity measurements and adjusted the
deviation curves according to the program instructions but the low bass did
not drop down the way it should have. The high treble looked pretty good
but I would like to get some other input about the 6:3 octaves in the base and
4:1 double octaves in the treble and their purity. My ears like pure
octaves and I understand that the they need streching in the low bass and
higher octaves. ! Would someone please e-mail me the correct tuning
pitches for all 88 notes in cents Plus or Minus starting with A0 through C8?
Or please send me a Yamahau1.tun file or a Disklavier MX100A.tun file that
works with TuneLab Pro? I Thank you in advance for your answers and
information.<BR>Best regards, Conrad Ware caw4343@cs.com
