Hi Martin! I frowned alittle when I saw your mail with the question if one can tip you on how to tune better etc. From the things you wrote on how far you have come in tuning pianos I can only give you the best and only (in my view as a professional tuner) tip there is in your case: Go to school and learn from the begining how to tune. There is NO way to just read a little here and there or some sort of book on how to tune cos it is simply more complicated than that. I dont say this cos I want to "run you down" but cos I know that there is no shortcut to become a pianotuner. It took me 2 years in school with alot of practical work to understand and handle a pianos tuning and also feel that I had control over the piano. After that it takes even more years until you can consider yourself a good tuner. You have to understand the underlying factors in a temprament. There is no 1 way temprament/beats etc. The intervals differ from octave to octave and you also have to be aware how you check on your tuning after every interval. This is something you have to practice over and over and I wouldnt recomend it without a teacher. If you dont study in this manner you will loose more than gain and end up frustrated since you will understand after all that reading in a book you wont know enough to tune a single piano/grand even if you put the standard very low at first. I wish you good luck and hope you try to get a teacher firstly. Best wishes, Maria _________________________________________s_p_r_a_y_ Här börjar Internet!
