HI Ron, Dave, Could you guys then summerize this method of tuning that shortens tuning time? I was taught to play the note hard, whether unison, octave or interval and tune it while it's sounding strong, and hit the note again move the pin etc. How do you guys do 10ths with one hand. My hands aren't long enough. Is this tuning method I learned the one you guys describe? In the beginning, I used to wander too much, but now I'm working hard to barely go above before I settle it in. On some occasions I just move it up enough to hear the whine or roll appear. I also find that little movements almost squeezing the lever handle using forearm movements rather than arm movements helps really hone that note in. Having that training from the school sure helped me, but I'd like to speed up a little more. I'm at about an hour in a half to almost two depending on the type of piano mostly an hour and 45 minutes. I want to shorten this time. So a summery woudl be great. I'm always up for trying new things. I'm used to being flexible. Also is there anything I can do to rusty strings to decrease the chance of breakage besides giving ti a little bump in the flat direction? I heard that putting lube of some kind on the strings works, but I 've also heard that dirt will accumulate to the strings if one lubricates the strings. Thanks guys.
