[pianotech] Test Blows

List, though this subject has been discussed many times before, I figured it
wouldn't hurt to get some more input.

Does anyone here use a "soft" tuning technique that they feel results in as
stable a tuning as using traditional hard test blows?  With all the
discussions we have regarding hearing protection, and special "pounders"
made of hammer heads, etc., I know it's a matter of concern to many.
Assuming good hammer technique is present, is it possible to dependably (and
efficiently) equalize string section tensions without a good "whack"?

Thanks for your thoughts.
