My wife, who is a dentist, doesn't approve but you can REALLY hear = the fork. Of course you have to be careful where you put the fork when = you're not using it.....=20 Mark Wisner Yamaha Corporation mwisner@yamaha.com >>> piano@charlesneuman.net 05/24/02 09:43AM >>> When setting A49 to the fork, I like to compare F21-fork with F21-A49. It seems that I need three hands to do this: One to play F21, one to hold the fork or play A49, and one to move the lever. Since I only have 2 hands, I keep F21 held down by putting a mute sort of sideways and resting on the backchecks of the neighboring notes (on a vertical piano) so that it blocks F21 in the depressed position. Or I can jam a mute along the top of the key to keep it down, but that seems like it would mess up the felt right above the keytop. Once it's held down, then I can compare F21-fork and then tune F21-A49 to that same beat rate. Are there any other techniques I should consider?
