May Their Practice rooms be filled with 1098's

[Kevin E. Ramsey RPT]

    OK, in my experience, as you're trying to bring a string up to pitch, it
doesn't seem to want to go, in spite of the obvious movement of the pin in
the block. Then,,,,,zoom! the string finally renders,,,,,,,right past where
you wished it would go. I have often wondered if the pressure bar isn't too
low or something.  Anybody care to give their imput? Believe me, I'd like
nothing more than to be able to easily tune these things, but after tuning
three or four in practice rooms, I'm done for the day. As opposed to being
able to tune twice as many Yamaha's or Kawai's.
