tuning for Michael Feldman

[Marshall Connolly]

JF:

As long as you did your best work, than stop worrying.  Even if you're new as a tuner, remember that I, too (after 25 years) do only MY BEST WORK.  Sometimes, you deal with difficult instruments.  Your BEST work shall always be commendable.  It is the foundation of what piano technology means.  

Cheers!

  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
