He had a one day seminar in Seattle a few years back and his description of tuning, tho a very short segment in what was essentially a voicing class, pointed more in the direction of a few solid blows, not overdone and with emphasis placed on hammer technique. Further... there are lots of tuners that get rock solid tunings, and these from a wide variety of tuning techniques. I think its more a matter of individual experience with how whatever technique gets you to the point where you know the darn thing isnt going to move. RicB -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
