Several years ago there was a TV sitcom about a piano factory in the East. I
think the show was called GRAND. In one episode, the owner of the company was
called to come to New York because one of his grands that was being used for a
recital sounded bad. When he got there, one note was out of unison, like about
a fifth low. (for show effect). It was interesting how he tuned. it. He stood
in the curve of the rim, and put the tuning hammer on the pin, and had the
"artist" play the note several times, while he pulled on the lever, until the
note sounded in tune. 


Anyone rember that one?
