[pianotech] Pitch raise criteria

[David Love]

Yeah, I don't like the deaf tune technique.  It's fast but sometimes you end
up correcting your quick pass before you can start.  All the machines now
offer a nice pitch raise function, VTs is nice, I think CT is the best one.
The SAT works well too but you have to manually recalculate periodically.

We all were (3 hours tuners) at one point.  Tuning speed has to do with
hammer control and feel.  When practicing technique don't forget that
technique ultimately boils down to feel

Before ETD's I was taught to deaf tune for a large pitch raise. This is done
with two hands, one on the back of the tuning hammer tip moving the hammer
quickly from pin to pin and the other used to turn the hammer . A quick jerk
on each pin is all it takes, pluck a string every octave or every few
unisons with your finger to hear how much the pin is going sharp to allow
yourself  to be more comfortable this deaf pitch raise.

Today I simply use the Verituner with over pull.

 

My first piano took for hours and I desparately needed a nap after the
tuning.

Today my tunings are in color compaired to black and white years ago.
