Greetings all! I think I have been lurking long enough. I hope a
question in the area of tuning will be acceptable.
If you read the PTG Journal, you will know that I am trying to
learn as much as I can about Hammer Technique.
Here's my question: when tuning grands, how important is it to
exert strong thumb pressure on the hammer in an effort to rotate the pin
without leaning it sideways? Is this even possible?
I have been simply pulling the hammer handle without worrying
about this force having the tendency to lean the pin.
