Going down in the bass, tune the lower note sharp but keep in mind that the bass requires slightly less overpull than the tenor or treble. Since you are tuning outward from the middle of the piano, the upper note will hopefully have fallen to "pitch" by the time it is used as a reference note for the lower end of the piano. Therefore, the lower will have to be tuned sharp.

Stretch the octaves a bit more going up to the top and in the bass. The wider octaves going up will compensate for greater overpull required in the treble and a progressively flatter instrument as you add tension below. The overstretch in the bass will result in less overpull which the bass requires. Tune outward from the temperament octave A3:A4. Expect to do 2 rough passes before fine tuning. ETD's are a lot easier.

Is it a whole lot more difficult to do? How do you do it? Thank you! Matthew Todd Todd Piano Works Piano Tuner/Technician Tuning - Repairing - Regulating _____ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
