Hey Everyone, So what's the difference again between melodic tuning and harmonic tuning? Sometimes things get lost in all of the threads on here. I'm curious. I just tune use tests as I was trained, and it all works out. Also am I hearing you guys correctly? It's better to forget about lubing that v bar or area of the string around the top bass bridge. I'm not all that fond of greasy film on the strings, but I hate going to a piano fearing that a string will break. I hate the anxiety, yes I get anxiety over it. lol I tried bumping a while back and the string still broke. lol It was on a Kimball that the customer rately used. Also I had to go back to a piano I tuned in September. It's a Pramberger console with a muffler rail. I was told it was made in Korea. The arm on the left side apperently was bent a little and would not stay in the plastic round slot/hole in the side of the piano. I had to bend it a little. Can that little spring cause too much tension and pull the arm away from it's resting place as the pedal is being used? I changed its positoin to the upper hole on the arm instead of the lower one, and it seemed to help a great deal. Don't forget for those of us in the states who change time, we get an extra hour to dream about pianos tonight. :-) Have a good one 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...
