Bringing them down

[Mark Graham]

This time of year I encounter a lot of Steinways and other pianos which
are very sharp. I can do pitch raises competently, but lowering the pitch
of a severly sharp piano and putting it in good tune takes me longer than
I would like. Any tips? Things seem to drift back up again, particularly
in the treble and particularly in Steinways.
