This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment I am having a problem tuning A49 on my piano to the tuning fork when I = start tuning the temperament. I mute one of the two strings of F21, = sound the tuning fork and listen to the beat rate. I then would like to = be able to play F21 and A49 and adjust the centre string (side strings = muted) to provide the same beat rate. The problem is that I can't play = both these notes and adjust the tuning pin to hear when the beat rate = becomes correct. The distance between these two notes is too far and = requires two hands to play them, so I can't adjust the pin as well.=20 My piano is a Yamaha G3 5' 3" grand, and it was bought in the UK. It = only has two pedals and doesn't have a sostenuto action, so I can't use = that to keep F21 sounding while I play A49 with one hand and manipulate = the tuning hammer with the other. The only solutions I can think of are = to somehow disable the damper of F21 or to put something heavy on the = key after it has been played to hold it down. Until now, I adjust A49 until the pitch sounds the same as the fork and = then check the beat rate with F21. It is a trial and error method, and = isn't very satisfactory. It would be better to hear the change in beat = rate until it becomes exactly right.=20 Do you have any suggestions what the best solution might be? Thank you = very much.=20 Robert Finley ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
