I think someone said the piano is a timbale?!? The following night that piano was used for another show..let's just say the first tuning was FUN! Anyway, I'm the one who started this thread because I was amazed at what I perceived as a moderate volume to tune measured 84db..and my test blows averaged 114. Oh, and in case I forgot to mention it the first time, I actually wind up and smash the key..no..actually I use 2-3-4 fingers for my test blow. I have read with interest all the replies from this thread..2 things come to mind: My tunings do not go sharp over time. Hammer technique, in my opinion, is just as important as a good test blow. Your mileage may vary, but this is my experience down here. -Phil Bondi(Fl)
