Muteless tuning

Pitchraise in 5 minutes.  Let's see, about 250 strings in 300 seconds.  Smoke
must be coming off the tuning pins.

I just tried moving the tuning hammer from pin to pin as fast as I could,
without turning the pins or striking a note.  I took 1.7 seconds per pin.  It
would take me over 7 minutes just to move the hammer over all the pins.

Maybe the pitchraise just entailed half the strings?  Makes me mad as hell when
people play a piano tuned like that.
