Piano Tuning: A Simple and Accurate Method for Amateurs
reviewed on + 1775 more book reviews


This seems quite detailed and complete--there is a lot to learn before setting out as a piano tuner. There are seventeen chapters, such as 'Rationale of the Temperament.' Some line drawings. "Probably the most important essential in piano building is the production of a frame of such strength and stability that the enormous tension of the strings is completely resisted in all parts of the scale."
The hints in the last chapter seem especially valuable.
