tuning for Michael Feldman

[John Formsma]

Michael Feldman's "Whad'Ya Know" show is in Oxford, MS, and I tuned the
piano late this afternoon for tomorrow morning's live broadcast.

Don't want to let this opportunity pass by for your critique, since (gulp)
what I did to that piano is to be broadcast nationally. I would be
interested in any comments, positive or negative. I think I tend to tune the
bass a bit flatter than some tuners, so if you can, listen particularly for
that. See if you notice anything particularly off. It was tuned in equal
temperament...with an attitude. I.e., stretched so that the shared top note
makes the double octave and octave-fifth beat the same. E.g., F3-F5 beats
the same as Bb3-F5.

I don't know how much you can hear of just the piano since it's a jazz trio.
But if you're tuning in anyway, listen hard, and pull no punches. Hopefully
it will react favorably overnight. C#4 has a rather nasty falseness, but
everything else was normal.

It's a Yamaha C7, about 4 years old. All I did was tune it...no voicing or
anything.

Thanks,

JF
