Thank you to all of you that have answered. With uprights, I strip mute the middle, tune the middle and then tune the unisons for the middle. I also do one pass pitch raises and tuning like this. I then tune the treble unisons and then the bass unisons as I go. A lot of the pianos I tune are anywhere from 10 - 50 cents flat. So this gives me room to pitch raise and tune. In one sitting. On grands I strip mute the entire grand, tune the center string for every note and then tune the unisons. I have tried once or twice just tuning unisons as I go but did not pursue this because I was slower than I usual. I do like what Ed said with regard to what maters, the end result, stability, stability, stability. I think I will re-try the unisons as you go and persist with it and see? Thank you, Best regards, Mark Davis -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
