About 1 year ago we purchsed a new 5'-6" BG Hallet Davis. The dealer had it tuned after it was set up in our house. It has gone through one summer-winter cycle here in Western Pennsylvania.

My wife plays well and we both have a good appreciation for tone. Now the piano sounds clinky from about 1 octave above middle C to the top and quite apparently needs tuning. However, we have neither the perception or the stamina to undertake the odyssey that Perri Knize did to get Marlene tuned. That said perhaps some one can guide us on WHO to tune and HOW.

Basically we want a solid concert sound (if possible from a 5'-6") with strong bass and solid tenor section (eliminate the clinks). WHAT DO WE TELL THE TUNER TO DO? Also please advise what a Shubert Concert Tuning is.

We also notice that keys in about the same upper end have a lighter touch than from middle C down. Can this touch be firmed up to match the low end.

We will also post this in the Tech section.

Thank You
J. Francis
