Sometimes, so as not to disturb others, especially at night, I limit myself when tuning the pf (particularly the chorus) to plucking the strings, having first blocked all the relative keys down, contrary to the precious indications of lesson No. 4 Tuning and Intonation.
Is this very wrong? What problems could I have?
Thank you, regards.

...sorry, what is the chorus?
A chorus is a set of 2 or 3 strings tuned to unison.
Sergio, as we know, to obtain tuning stability it is very important to observe the 2 procedures; the adjustment of the tuning pins and the adjustment of the strings.
If you tune the piano at night so as not to disturb anyone, I presume that it is impossible for you to strike the string hard to stabilize it. The hard strike stretches the string along its entire length and therefore it is very important for stabilizing the string and thus the tuning.
So an inconvenience of "night" tuning could be precisely this.

I agree with Pianoaccordatore who preceded me. The strong strike serves to make the string vibrate and stabilize throughout its entire length "sincerely". Soft strike to listen. Fortissimo to verify stability, after tuning
