    1:00 Here’s an update: a few months later I got a call from the client that the buzz came back. I ended up returning to her home and removing and twisting each bass string (for free). No small expense on my part as it took 2 to 3 hours, but it was the right thing to do. So in short, the lowering and raising of the pitch temporarily got rid of the buzz, but it was not a permanent fix. When I was done with the job the second time, I told her that if the buzzes come back again that the next step would be to replace all of the base strings, and quoted her a four digit price. I haven’t heard from her again, so I am really, not sure if the buzzes have returned once more, but at least she is now empowered with the correct information, and you and I have all learned something in the process!

    Nice work. Thanks for providing the opportunity to watch a full piano tuning. I am just getting started as a tuner and it's been a huge learning experience every time. I do prefer the sound of using electronic tuning apps though. I'm not sure I like this temperament, but your skills are certainly better than mine on unisons.

Does it have to do with starting the cut on the underside of the key material? Just curious, please explain.

    Good video. I learned the C temperament in school in 1980. Later passing the test F temperament. Now I use the Accu tuner. And listen. Over all I think the ETD has brought the tuning quality up a little. Especially if you use your ears and the ETD. You can get a good temperament then if needed use your ears to refine it.

    Great video. I am going for my RPT. I noticed you are wearing a watch and rings. For those of you newbies like me out there, I was told to remove anything that could put the slightest mar on the piano even on the plate. Many of the pianos we will tune will have cost the owner up around $250K - some are priceless antiques. Some owners may even hover over you to scrutinize you as you tune or service (touch) their piano... that is some serious pressure. Have you ever experienced that?

    • @Lurch-Bot
      @Lurch-Bot Před měsícem

      I don't do audiences. I have PTSD so someone hovering over my shoulder while I work is a no-go. Move on and find some clients who will leave you to work. Nobody does their best work with distractions and piano owners like that are nothing but a distraction. If they are so worried about their piano, they should learn how to tune it themselves. Then they can spend all week getting their laundry list of complaints just perfect. Some people will always have unrealistic expectations and it is better to just keep on walking. I've worked on commercial aircraft costing $100m plus. $250k is chicken feed next to that. But yeah, you have a point. Shouldn't wear anything that could scratch the piano, especially when working on one this cherry. I think OP doesn't really have that much respect for the instrument itself, just what it can do for him and probably thinks the sound quality is 90% his work and 10% Steinway when it is really the other way around.

    Hi, you need to move the tuning pins, not just flex them around. Dont get stable tunings unless setting pin and string.

    • @Lurch-Bot
      @Lurch-Bot Před měsícem

      Lol. Pins are angled and string tension locks them in place. It isn't a violin. And sometimes simply applying some sideways pressure is all it takes to make a fine adjustment. You can basically walk the pin around in the hole to get very minute adjustments.

    • @paulknight6508
      @paulknight6508 Před měsícem

      I'm sorry was trying to offer some constructive criticism, when there is many beats or 10 cents out when tuning one string to another you will definitely need to move pin to move string up and then back, set pin and then stabilize string, I have learnt alot about pianos and tuning in last 28 years but you have to be open to listening to people when they offer advice.

    I love the work you do and that you show it to us. I have gotten several ideas, the question is, there are times when you do checks with notes that are not previously tuned, how can you be guided by those notes if they have not yet been tuned. I hope I have explained myself. Thanks again.

    • @barberchopin96
      @barberchopin96 Před 3 měsíci

      Your check notes don’t have to be tuned correctly, they just have to be close enough to produce a beat to listen to. When comparing beat rates, all that matters is whether one interval is faster or slower than the other. Such is the case with M3-M10, M3-M6, and M6-M10 tests. Hope this helps.
