Hi John,
One can tune cross handed with the lever at 6 o'clock with a 20% head.

  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.

  =20

  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?

  =20

  Now you've got me curious....
