Hello,
I have a computeur with a tuning software.
What is the method to make un good tuning
for a piano.
The problem is that there is 1, 2 ou 3 string for 1 note.
For 1 ok
but for 2 or 3 we move é or 3 string in the same time ?
Thank's

Don't try this on a good piano: you can easily break strings! You must also
have the proper tool, so that you don't damage the tuning pins.

Go to the library and do more research before trying this yourself. Get the
right tools, and then try it!

Thank's for your answer.
Please for information you turn the 3 tuning pins in the same time
or you adjust 1 an after an other ?
It is mysterious for me

One at a time, and you use a rubber wedge to silence the others. See this
book:
Piano Servicing, Tuning, and Rebuilding, by Arthur A. Reblitz.

How could you move three strings at the same time?!?

Exactly what I would have recommended. I love that book. :)
