I would appreciate knowing what some of you other tuners think about
pounding a piano hard vs soft pounding.  One tuner I know pounds pianos
really hard and his tunings tend to be very stable and long lasting.
But I have also heard other tuners say that pounding hard during the
tuning process is not good.  Any thoughts on this?  

Thanks,
Jim Turner
