tunings

Dear list,
	For the people who are looking for a solution for tuning the cheap pianos
with wildly high F stretch numbers try this.	
	Dr. Sanderson has a generic tuning which he calls the "generic pitch
raise".  It is a tuning designed to be used as a plan for pitch raising. 
The idea is to put this tuning in memory and then use the pitch raising
program to guide the piano in a reasonable place to fine tune from on the
2nd pass.  This tuning is one that came in my original SAT and I assume it
is still available for $2.00 from him in written form.
	I use this raw generic tuning to tune the cheap pianos like the Aeolian
spinets, Whitney spinets and most no name pianos that nothing else seems to
work on.  I have found that THIS TUNING DOES AS GOOD AS JOB AS ANY OTHER
TUNING AND CAN BE TWEAKED on the 2nd pass to suit you.  It saves much time
and fretting as none of these little gems will come out like they are
supposed to anyway.	Try this and let me know what you think.
