Hi Todd, In school we were told to leave a string alone that was in tune, a unison that is. A lot of times if I'm coming back to a piano I just tuned recently, I'll check the temperament retune where necessary and do the octaves etc. I'm curious. If pianos go out of tune as soon as we tune them, how much is that based upon whether we set the pins correctly and how much is based upon climate change, structure etc? How can we know which factor caused the pinao to slip out of tune? I find if I do a pitch raise it takes a while to get the piano stable again. So I try my hardest not to go way out when doing the pitch rasie, move it as little as I can get by with without wandering too much. With all of these factors however, I still prefer a real acoustic piano over those electronic things. :-) Marshall Marshall Gisondi Piano Technician Marshall's Piano Service pianotune05 at hotmail.com 215-510-9400 www.phillytuner.com Graduate of The School of Piano Technology for the Blind www.pianotuningschool.org Vancouver, WA -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
