I broke the E5 string on my piano and the tuner came to replace it a couple of days ago. It was only after he left that I came to check it out, and the pitch was incorrect. It sounded like it was in between an E5 and F5. However, he did leave a plug in between the Eb 5 and E5 strings so maybe it was intentional. So I assumed I had to keep the plug in for some time; maybe it had to do with the spacing. I wanted my parents to ask him, but they told me to just wait since apparently this is what usually occurs, although I don't recall a similar situation happening.
So a day later I try again, the pitch is exactly the same. I remove the plug and it's still wrong. I put the plug back.
With the plug still in currently (see the image), the pitch has still not corrected. I'm not sure what's going on and am wondering if it's a fix I can handle by myself. Can someone please advise me? #audio #music source
