• Removing external piano panels. • Brining a mid-treble note to the pitch of a standard tuning fork (commonly top C or middle A). • Putting adjacent notes in tune relative to the first note tuned. The most pure musical interval is the octave, followed by the 5th, the 4th then the major 3rd. So, for example, once top C is tuned to a standard C tuning fork, top C could be used to tune middle C, then middle C could be used to tune the note one 5th above (middle G), then middle G (G4) to tune G3, G3 to tune D4, D4 to tune D3, D3 to tune A3, and so on. The next note would be E, which can be compared with C to see if the interval of a 3rd also sounds right – this is the way tuners check their progress. The sequence of 5ths is a cycle: C, G, D, A, E, B, F#, C#, G#, D#, A#, F, C returning to C. • When an interval is used to tune one note to another in the mid-treble, a wedge is used to stop the sound of two of the strings while the third string is tuned (remember in the mid-treble there are 3
