		<title>Upright Piano Microphone Techniques</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am certainly not a recording engineer or expert in this department, but I thought I&#8217;d post my results from a piano technicians perspective.  I am also using more affordable microphones into an m-box protools setup. Upright Piano Mic Techniques I recently bought an inexpensive though well built used piano manufactured by Yamaha called an [...]]]></description>

		<title>Piano Tuning Stability</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I bought a small little used Yamaha made piano about 6 months ago. The Eterna ER-10 is a well built, inexpensive piano which was manufactured in Japan in the 90&#8242;s. The previous owners hadn&#8217;t had the piano tuned in over 10 years. The piano was a quarter tone flat, which isn&#8217;t that terrible considering the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cable Nelson CN116 Piano Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently tuned a Cable Nelson CN116.  I&#8217;ve been interested in these pianos ever since they came out.  They&#8217;re made by Yamaha to their specs and design in China. I&#8217;d heard that they could potentially be the best quality piano built in China for the price.  I&#8217;ve been looking at buying one of these pianos [...]]]></description>

		<title>Piano On Sandbar</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A grand piano was seen off the Biscayne Bay perched atop a sandbar 200 yards out in the water.  I wonder if the piano mover was puzzled by the address given, or if it was merely some fraternities prank.  Either way, it seems the piano is there to stay.  I suppose someone could perform an [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tuning Your Own Piano. Why It&#8217;s A Bad Idea</title>
		<description><![CDATA[1. Guitar tuners are not set up to tune the temperament of a piano. Each piano&#8217;s temperament is tuned slightly different depending on the piano. Many pianos have different gages and lengths of strings, therefore what sounds in tune on one piano may not sound in tune on another. This is called inharmonicity. Professionals have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Piano Hammer Strikes Twice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes you play a piano and it sounds and feels odd. It&#8217;s not the tuning, (though that may be a separate issue) but it just doesn&#8217;t feel right. It may in fact be that the piano hammer is striking the string twice in quick succession. Piano technicians usually refer to this effect as bubbling. Often [...]]]></description>

		<title>Metronome App for Piano Practicing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While practicing piano yesterday, I went to use my Seiko DM-20 metronome to keep time on some piano exercises when I found the battery in the Seiko had died. It takes those small watch batteries which are hard to come by around the house. I&#8217;ve had this metronome for 15 years or so without any [...]]]></description>

		<title>Piano Tuning for Colm Wilkinson</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently got the opportunity to tune a Yamaha C7 Grand Piano for a Colm Wilkinson concert at the Capitol Theatre in Chatham. I was given the opportunity by the piano dealer who supplied the piano, D&#38;S Pianos. I have always been a great fan of Colm Wilkinson, ever since I played the role of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Squeaky Piano Keys</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Are you being annoyed by squeaks that happen every time you play certain keys? It may not be a difficult thing to correct. In most cases I find that piano squeaks come from the keys. There is a brass pin which the keys rock back and forth on. This pin tends to oxidize over time. [...]]]></description>
