Mike, I trust your experience, but I don't follow your logic. Won't a series of pitch raises therefore create a series of bends in the speaking length, compared to perhaps just one if you go all the way to pitch? Is your strategy different at all for new wire? Typically that's pulled above target pitch initially... --Cy-- Cy Shuster, RPT Albuquerque, NM www.shusterpiano.com www.facebook.com/shusterpiano On Sep 29, 2010, at 12:26 PM, Michael Magness wrote: > A piano that hasn't been tuned for several years has the same > problems & should be treated somewhat the same.
