Wear & tear on oneself's, and on the customer and their environment! Those in the vicinity of listening will greatly appreciate any efforts you make to minimize the noise output, Marvin. Just imagine if you will, a customer who has had the opportunity to experience one who bangs the piano into a stable tuning, and one who renders the piano into a stable tuning. Just imagine, if you will, who they will want back. I learned this at a Piano Technicians Guild chapter meeting long ago when the person doing a pitch raising technical kept striking the notes long after necessary. It was an incredibly abusive time to my senses. This was a great lesson for all tunings to come in my life. Keith A.
