Monday evening I had my first real stab at tuning a harpsichord. I’d been given an introduction by Jan the week before, and now was my chance to try it out (he’d come and tune it later as he always tunes it monday evening or tuesday morning). It actually went surprisingly well. Lots of it was in reasonable good tune when I left it. I first tuned it as I has learned, and then of course started tuning a couple of intervals I did not like, which led to other itervals I did not like, and so on… so after about two hours of this I figured that enough was enough and did my harpsichord lesson instead. And it wasn’t at all bad playing the pieces. :)
