For concert work, I tune at FFF. I get the middle string is in tune with the SAT, hitting the note at least a dozen times. Then I tune the outside string by ear, also at FFF, but making sure the SAT has not moved, again, hitting the note at least a dozen times at FFF for each string. In other words, the note will have had a workout. Comment about maybe be over doing it. I don't believe that to be the case. We are supposed to make sure the piano will stay in tune under the most stringent conditions. I don't think the excuse, "I didn't know you were going to play the piano that loud," is going to cut it when an artist complains the piano went out of tune before the end of the first movement. In defense of my method, last year the D at the university withstood the Rach 3rd with only one string slipping a couple of cents. That is why I wonder why some strings on some pianos do, and some don't, and what causes it. Wim ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
