I usually stand for the treble and lean over somewhat. Sitting on the side
is a good idea if there's room.

 

You could tune left handed - I have to do that with a Yamaha C7 100 year
anniversary piano. (The very modern looking one with the computer and
plexiglass lids.) There is not enough clearance to tune right handed because
of the lid that covers the pinblock area. I probably should start tuning at
least the treble sections left handed, but it's easier to keep doing it with
the right.

Now why is that hard to picture? I don't get kinky with the piano, although
there is a certain amount of intimacy involved - especially with those that
respond in a meaningful way to my manipulation. It's just a simple
description of how I sit to tune a grand piano high treble section.

 

I've only watched one other guy tune a grand piano - and I don't remember
how he approached the high treble. Where do others sit while tuning the high
treble?

 

Now you've got me curious....
