[CAUT] 1098 tuning

[Cy Shuster]

And from Kent Webb:

#4 Don't overpull sharp and pound down.  Like a screwstringer, these often 
go sharp with test blows.  Pull just up to pitch.

This works with other pianos with multiple string deflections between pin 
and speaking length, like an old Ivers & Pond upright we have at school.
