Hi Terry, Definitely, I didn't mean to pass that by. Tuning and voicing is the only thing I do (and very minor repairs), since making the piano I play sound good is what I wanted. Though I realise the piano I just got needs regulation, so I'm going to have to spend some time learning about that. There's a book available from Schaff about voicing and regulation, I forget the name, but if you know what do you think of it? -- John > Also keep in mind that the tuning is just the first step (and usually > subsequent tunings when used in recording and/or performance venues, > and if necessary, preceded by regulation, filing, etc.) in acheiving > the full potential of the piano.
