Scope and content
A technician at Dailey & Ekman Piano Clinic appears to be adjusting the steel tuning pins in a disassembled upright piano. He has one hand on the piano keys and the other manipulating the tuning lever. Learning correct usage of the tuning lever takes time and practice; the tuner must acquire a feel for the right amount of pressure so that control is attained regarding the correct way the pins turn and making them stay in the right position. He must also apply the same amount of tension along the entire length of each string. Photograph ordered by Teleradio Advertisers, Inc., for KTVW television.
