Hi Mark. Welcome to the list. I started tuning unisons as you go about 4 years ago. I found it gave me a more stable tuning, and it saved me some time. It also gave me a lot more room in my tool case.?So for me?it was a practical thing.??If you're trying to decide which is better for you, do some experimenting, and see what works, and what doesn't work.??But as Ed said, it doesn't matter what system you use, as long as the end result is a stable tuning.

My name is Mark Davis and I am a piano tuner/technician in South Africa. ? I read the pianotech archive a lot and generally find it very helpful and encouraging. ? My question ?is, apart from personal opinions, what are the advantages and disadvantages of strip muting an entire piano compared to tuning unisons as you go? What are the pros and cons of each way from a factual, scientific and practical point? ? Your answers would be much appreciated. ? Thank you, ?
