    Hi,

    Maybe you should keep on making soft blows, but try to hit the key
quickly, without listening to the note during 15 sec like you said.
    That way you'll be able to hear the "attack" of the note, the first
stage of the sound that is produced.
    Having a clear and pure sounding attack is very important for me, and
I've never succeeded in having a clear attack when tuning with listening to
the note more than 2 or 3 seconds.


  Sorry, Quentin, but I absolutely disagree; listening to the unison all the
way out to silence is the only way that works, for me, to get the note
completely still, completely blooming and rich. Period.

  That said, it really doesn’t matter, ultimately, HOW you get a piano to
sound and feel beautiful; it just matters that you CAN.

  Best of the day,

  David Andersen
