> My tuning profile:  Wim Blees, tuning with the right hand. 
>   
> GRANDS:
>   
> 1. SITTING:
>  I sit at the piano slightly to the right of square, with my right knee 
> under the keybed, and my right side up against the front of the keybed.
>   
> 2. ARM:
>  My arm is raised almost perpendicular to the floor, depending on the 
> height of the piano. 
>   
> 3. GRIP:
>  I hold the hammer almost at the end. 
>   
> 4. HANDLE POSITION:
>  The hammer is between 1 and 3 o'clock. 
>   
> 5.  WHACKIN' HAND:
>  forearm parallel with the keys, using my hand, bending at the wrist, 
> pounding with my 3rd finger.
>   
> 6.  HIGH TREBLE:
>  If the lid is up and I can get around, I will stand to the side of the 
> piano, and put the hammer at 12 o'clock. If the lid is down, or there is no 
> room on the right side, I will turn the hammer around so that the handle is 
> at 9 o'clock.
