Sit when at all possible! Use a long tuning tip, switch tuning lever direction. You ever seen a karate class where they do "horse" stance? That will help your back too.... spread your legs wide, toes pointing front, and "sit" lower to get your hand into striking range of the keys. Great workout for the legs too! I can even sit for the jumbo uprights.

Other than standing in a hole, what do other tall guys do?
