[pianotech] Attention Ed Foote - Pitch raising limit

[Piano Boutique]

Another William adding a thought.

It has been my experience that pulling a piano sharp for a pitch raise, is not as cut and dried as one might think.   To begin with a Baldwin, especially the studios hardly fall at all.   On the other hand there is Wurlitzer and Kimball that fall considerably.   Finally, there are the American Aeolian spinets that, well, you get the drift.

There is just my take on the fact that every piano is different as well as the tuner handling the problem.

  William.  I agree.  A machine isn't everything and no matter how hard we try, the human ear is awfully hard to beat in the end.

  Dare I..........

  Satisfaction, Duaine.  A desire to be better.  A realization that for some, the craft, the process of creating is also fulfilling.  And it provides an opportunity to grow.  Why tax oneself?  I study the Tae Kwon Do, and no matter how good I get, there will always be room for improvement, personal growth, professional growth.  Without stress, and strain, there is no improvement.  In my life, repetition is meaningless without concurrent improvement and growth.  It's what satisfies me.  It's not wasteful for those who gain something from the process.

  I think I wrote this for me.......
