Pianist: You see, I have two actually, the first kind, is on this one, it is a similar design too. Right now I got 50 inch Astin-Weight at home and the piano takes up of most of the back, because there are no wind braces. And, I also have 7-ft. Baughlin Semi-Concert Grand too and as of tenth.
Interviewer: How many pianos do you own?
Pianist: My wife and I between us used to own 8 pianos, 2 of which were Grands, harpsichord, clavichord, tuba, French horn, trumpet, trombone, transverse flute, guitar, base, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. I have my wife since passed away, I liquidated most of pianos, and the harpsichord, and clavichord, but most of the staff I still have. Anyway, I will carry on and let me on here; I have to drive some distance to a (piano playing)
Interviewer: All right well I only got about three minutes left on this memory card here and then I can upload it. Then we can wait until we can get to the next part, if you will explain anything later, or you can just end up (piano playing).
Pianist: Still, a bit slow (piano playing)
Pianist : It is hard to get here; it is very slow out (piano playing). This is a knock down as well (piano playing), now this I on my checks, is this major sixth (piano playing), now that beat is quite obvious because pretty fast, when you chat at me when you listen to it (piano playing). Pretty awful but that is part of how piano to tune (piano playing).
Pianist: Now your fourth should be a little bit faster than your fifth (piano playing). Now, a bit of difference between the roller speed (piano playing). That ones, quite a bit slower than that one (piano playing), so that indicates that his C sharp, D flat is fast and sharper.
Pianist: Once again, I have to go down and turn the pin in the hole (piano playing) and went back again (piano playing). Just to it. just turn (piano playing) would not quite enough (piano playing). There (piano playing). So by the time I got the twist off the pin, it is dropped unacceptably flat (piano playing).
Pianist: Now we get then (piano playing).
Pianist: When, I am doing with this (piano playing) and I give a hard blow, and as I quite unnecessary to brutally pound a snot out of the piano when you are doing this. It is better actually to play quite softly because it tires your ears and the more violently you hit, then the beat rate actually winds being faster. The string is got a larger excursion when it vibrates…
Interviewer: Yes.
Pianist: So the beat rate takes a little while to settle down to as supposed to be. Then, we will do it soft and save yourselves (piano playing) to trouble of bashing your ears and then when you do it in a hard blow, the purpose for that is, we got the friction point here, friction point here, friction point here and a friction point where it goes across, the string is a number of different segments, and the purpose of that blow is to try to equalize the tension from one segment to one another.
Interviewer: So like to try and loose of some of that a bit
Pianist: Yes, if
Interviewer: Equaling it off?
Pianist: If the string should bind there, then you can gain more tension in this segment than in that segment and when your piano virtuoso comes along after you have given the piano of mi of retuning, few hard blows and boom! The tension is equalized there, because the string also devaluate excursion, it equalized the tension then boom! It goes flat. So, that is the purpose hard test blow.
Interviewer: Now, that is just to loosen up, I guess.
Pianist: That is right. But there is not need to brutally beat on the piano when you are doing this (piano playing).
Interviewer: You just like to get angry.
Pianist: Now, this third should be a bit slower than (piano playing) this sixth (piano playing), that is too fast (piano playing). It should be a way too slow (piano playing), so back up again. Now this is really tight. If I try doing like that, I get quite severe strain in my hand.
