One thing that seldom mentioned is the hammer technic that is used may = have an effect on which method you choose.=20 Before I started notching, the A0 to the top gave me very unreliable = results. Now it is usually just a touchup of the bass or low tenor for a = home tuning. This is with a 20 cent or less pitch raise and sometimes = get luckey with 40 to 50 cents.

For those of you who use an Accutuner III, which way would you = recommend using it to achieve a fine tuning? I have heard several = different and conflicting opinions, and I am wondering what to make of = it.=20 A friend of mine told me he achieves a good tuning by using the SAT = III to perform the FAC calculation, and then tuning chromatically up the = piano from A0, note by note, also tuning the unisons as he goes, and = aurally checking the octaves and other intervals. Someone else told me = that this would be the method to use only for pitch raising and = achieving stability, but not for fine tuning. Another person told me = that the temperament should be tuned first and then spread up the piano = by octaves and then lower. Aural checks would be done to ensure that = everything sounds correct and the beat rates of the intervals are what = they should be. =20 Your opinion on this will be much appreciated. Thank you very much.=20 Robert Finley ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
