  • I carry a Papp's wedge, but being from "this side of the pond" haven't really found them useful!

  • Yup, it IS the first gen. Fujan. I have big hands, so I like the size...

  • see "piano tuning matching box to piano" video

    Otherwise, it is just a matter of following the needle and spinner once you have an appropriate style set.

  • RC - The first part is more for getting information into the box. While I'm letting the box sample, I thought I might as well move some strings too! Also, just in case the Ih information is different for a string at pitch, this gives the box a chance to sample around 440 as well.

  • A pitch raise prepares a piano that is significantly off pitch to be fine tuned. If a piano is very flat, the pitch can be pulled sharp by a specific, determined percentage of how far flat the pitch was to start. As the structure settles while the rest of the piano is tuned, the pitch will settle down - hopefully really close to A=440Hz. The second tuning pass should be really simple then!
