Susan">> Jeff; I agree with Susan here :-) As for the tuning test, and in my opinion any other tuning done aurally, place the tuning fork on the plate while you are getting ready to tune, i.e. temperament stripping, taking things off the top, etc.. that way the fork and the piano temps will match and the pitch will be correct for that piano at that temperature......it might not be exactly ON but................................ more than likely close enough to pass the pitch at 100 and certainly close enough for most daily tunings......concert work is a different matter, with different, and differing, matters to consider :-( My view.
