However I am curious about the need to tune 6 to 8 times per year, you should discuss this with your technician. You obviously have a sensitive ear to be as demanding as you are. Learning about tuning the way that you describe below is not impossible but it is not likely to get the results that you desire and could result in doubling or tripling your annual tunings with much additional frusturation. My suggestion would be: If you are not a PTG member, look for a chapter near you and join. Purchase the suggested study materials, go to meetings, get to know the people in the chapter and find someone whom will coach you. This is an art craft combined that takes years to master. If you do get the program that you desire and can make it work to your satisfaction, please let us know. -----Original Message----- From: Caw4343@cs.com [mailto:Caw4343@cs.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 07, 2003 10:06 To: pianotech@ptg.org Subject: Tuning Info for our Yamaha MX100A Disklavier #4676936 Greetings to everyone from a new mailing list subscriber. I read Benny L. Tucker's answer in the June 4, 2002 issue and thought he or someone like him could help me. I need to find an exact TuneLab Pro .tun file for our 1989 Yamaha Disklavier MX100A Piano serial #4676936 that my wife and I bought new in 1990. I am very picky about the tuning (usually 6 to 8 per year) and at $75.00 a time it gets a bit costly for a retired person on a fixed income. So I used my wife's old Gateway Solo 2500 Pentium II 300Mz with TuneLab Pro software and a Yamahau3.tun file and went to work tuning our Disklavier. I had purchased a Touch Up Tool Kit from www.stevespianorepair.com a few days previous for $68.00 that came with a tuning instruction CD. I went through all the info on tuning unisons & octaves, hearing beats &! counting them & almost all the info on tuning pianos on the CD. Then I read Tuning to Robert Scott's TuneLab-2.0 on the CD. I tried using the average.tun file as suggested on the CD, before I used the Yamahau3.tun file, but the octaves stunk. The Yamahau3 tuning sounds real close but not perfect to my ears. I now have learned that my Piano is much closer to being a Yamaha U1 upright. It is 49 3/4 inches from the floor to the lid top. After tuning our piano with TuneLab Pro using the Yamahau3.tun file I did some inharmonicity measurements and adjusted the deviation curves according to the program instructions but the low bass did not drop down the way it should have. The high treble looked pretty good but I would like to get some other input about the 6:3 octaves in the base and 4:1 double octaves in the treble and their purity. My ears like pure octaves and I understand that the they need streching in the low bass and higher octaves. ! Would someone please e-mail me the correct tuning pitches for all 88 notes in cents Plus or Minus starting with A0 through C8? Or please send me a Yamahau1.tun file or a Disklavier MX100A.tun file that works with TuneLab Pro? I Thank you in advance for your answers and information.
