My 10-minute tuning in practice!

[Phil Bondi]

Congrats Brian. I've done 2 just this morning in the fashion that you
mentioned..well almost!..both new pianos..one on the dealer floor and one in
the customer's home..The one on the dealer floor was 26.8c flat..I had to
raise the 5th and 6th octaves twice before the fine tuning..total time: 1Hr.
20 min.

The one in the customer's home was 11.3c flat..that one was just a quickie
doing JUST the middle string..I'm sure someone on this list will tell me to do
all 3, but what I have found is if I leave the middle string beating pretty
good against the lower octave, then when I go to do the fine tune, it falls
into place instead of the unisons 'dragging down' the pitch..this is the 2nd
time I have tried this with good results..yes, I had a few flat ones in the
6th octave and had to re-tune 3, but all in all, this quickie PR seems to work
for me when the piano is not that bad to begin with.

PRook!
