Geeeeeezzzzzzzzzz. I guess I should not have used the term Whakker in my =
original post. I thought it was a cute term. Just a thing to depress the =
keys with. Ok, I use a key medium-blow-activator. See, now no one is =
hitting keys hard. My arm is screwed up. It hurts. Maybe not even from =
piano tuning. But it hurts so I use a key medium-blow-activator. Maybe =
we can call it a key =
depressor-at-sufficient-rate-to-cause-sounding-of-strings.

This is like a rumor that starts out as one thing, but gets convoluted =
along the way being passed from person to person, until it turns into =
something totally different from what it started. I'm not a piano =
whakker, I am a piano technician that tunes pianos as part of his =
service.

  I never remember hiring a piano whacker.  My parent hired a piano =
tuner.  I remember some of our Big Name conventions instructors would =
teach you to set the pin, not whack it into place.  I think I missed =
something along the way.  I do not want a piano whacker whacking on my =
piano either.  I also have seen some of the best Guild Guys do speed =
tunings without whacking and the tunings are stable.  I think whacking =
is another vice that some get off on.  You know the saying dazzle them =
with speed.
