[pianotech] Pounding

[Paul T Williams]

Hi All,

Have any of you tried the Steve Brady "forearm smash?"  It will quickly 
tell you if your unisons are stable or not.  I don't pound hard, but 
firmly.  I see no need to whack the keys so hard your fingers and ears 
hurt when you're finished.

Best,
Paul

For recital and concert tunings I do pound. This is of course after I have 

set the pin. I am sure that no one out there is able to set every single 
pin 
in the block so that it will not move under heavy playing, by some of our 
over exuberant pianists, without pounding at least a couple of times. I 
feel 
that to be sure that I have set correctly, a few hard hits does no harm, 
and 
reassures me that the tuning will be stable through the entire 
performance.
