Lightly strike the head with the mallet about 2

inches (5 cm) from the bearing edge at each

tension rod. Check which tension rod has the

highest sound.

• Pitch of the highest sound is higher than

the tuning note (*)

g Loosen the corresponding tension rod by

about 1/16 to 1/8 of a turn. First loosen

the bolt by twice the desired amount, and

then return (re-tighten) it by half. After

loosening the tension rod, repeat from the

beginning of step

• Pitch of the highest sound is lower than

the tuning note

g Go to step

Tighten the other bolts little by little (by about

1/16 to 1/8 of a turn) until the sounds at the

corresponding striking points match the pitch of

the highest sound. Please note that tightening

one bolt also raises the pitch of the neighbor-

ing and opposite tension rods. Thus, after tight-

ening the tension rod with the lowest sound,

again check the pitch at the other tension rods

before tightening the tension rod with the next

lowest pitch. While alternately tightening the

other bolts, do not touch the tension rod with

the highest pitch (reference pitch).

Loosen all over-tightened bolts according to

the procedure described in step
