Max, "McGiver" was a character in a television series here in N.A. who got himself out of bad situations by using devices he built out of scraps. He is often referred to when someone must make do with limited resources or uses unconventional methods.

Thank Mark R, for your attention. Here it is necessary to understand me that I did consciously choose unstandard A4. Why not? Upright (36) years of age are not tuned for a long time, I'm afraid to break a string. I first identify the more or less correct-sounding sounds and correct their Intervals with the rest of the piano
D (D6) sounds no tuning? at 7:42 and 7:53 Sorry Mark, my ear is acceptable

And, he could work miracles with duct tape... oddly enough, I work in the field of HVACR and we do not use duct tape on HVAC ducts; it’s okay for a while but then disintegrates and comes apart after a short time... laugh

Bob,if you can detail write your feelings "Belarus" upright about. What it was in your practice many this piano? In my video it's was buyed about 35 dollars

If nothing else, Max's threads bring to light that bad habits acuired in the early stages of learning are extremely difficult to erradicate later on.

Yes it's so. But Max tries to come with it's. He shows in Daniel's clips as Dan plays on grand piano after one year study. Max knows about myself all. And him don't should write here about myself

I think what he's saying is that he knows you are right, rxd, but he is the only one who knows his situation and what is acceptable / necessary / required.

Does that sound right, Max? I feel your communication is improving, and with it your humility shines through. Thanks for these videos.

Your tuning is improving as well. The unisons still aren't particularly solid, and the temperament not particularly even, but nothing sticks out too much, certainly good enough to bring out the Bach this kid is playing.

Dear Phil D, for me a great honor to read your message now. I dare to hope that my temperament will improve, because I work a lot on it's. I've much read themes on our forum. A criticisms of technicians to helps me lift the level in side of improvement. I am happy that I can help children tuning piano in music school. A kids and their teachers thanked me for my work in this year.
Regards, Max
