This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Dave Anderson sez: I tune A440, then A220 to that, tuning the right string of each note first, then the middle, then the left. I check, usually with the F3 below, to see that I’m on pitch. Then I go ahead and set the temperament (F3 to F4), putting each note in relationship with its neighbors, tuning as I go. I make small adjustments to the notes through the practice of “shimming” the unisons, or “cracking” the unisons: say I’ve got 4 notes of the temperament tuned, and I decide the 2nd note I tuned needs to move a little. I move one outside string (usually) a slight, slight bit in the direction I want it to go, then match it with the middle string, and check where it is. If I like it, I leave it; if I don’t, I move it some more. WHen I'm in the temperament section, I'm constantly using reference strings for checks -- testing fifths with the major sixth below the lower note of the fifth, for example. How do you do this efficiently using a single rubber mute? | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Jason Kanter . piano tuning regulation repair jkanter@rollingball.com . cell 425 830 1561 serving the eastside and the san juans ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
