Re: [disklavier] Piano Tuning question

John,

It sounds like your new technician knows what he is doing. That is good news!

Have him contact me at bill.brandom03@... and I can make sure he does what he needs to do with your piano!

Greetings!

Speaking from personal experience only, when I first had my piano tuned there was no concern from my tuner over the calibration of the player system. Rather, he expressed concern with getting the piano tuned too early because it needed to acclimate to its new environment - the piano was moving from Florida to Oklahoma in January. My tuner was the consummate professional and his guidance was rock solid but because I purchased the piano secondhand and never had an "Yamaha Disklavier" authorized tuner I cannot be certain that I was not missing out on something. That said, I cannot imagine that I am.

Calibrate before tuning
