Aural Pitch Raise on Yamaha G3 

02-11-2014 09:30

From a real tuning job on 2/10/2014. Yamaha G3 piano in a church. Audio is as follows: what the piano sounded like at arrival, paused for strip-muting piano; determined with AccuFork what the overall pitch was, set A4, then a quick F3-F4 temperament, octaves down to B2, then up from F#4-C8, then down from A#2-A0. The audio is raw and unedited, and all in real time except for first insertion of strip mute felts, indicated by the 1-second of silence at the 00:19 s mark. It takes around a minute (or less usually) to strip mute a grand, so the entire process is 15 minutes or sometimes even a bit less. At the ~6:00 mark, the middle section strip is removed and reinserted to allow tuning by whole steps. The purpose of the pitch correction is to bring the piano closer to tension for the fine tuning. There is no need to spend much time doing this. I do try to stabilize the pins as in fine tuning, but moving as quickly as possible. The idea is to get close but not strive for perfection until the fine tuning.
