Pitch Raise Sequence

[Joe & Penny Goss]

Hi Terry,
What I was trying to say was after all the tenor is pitched raised the bass
is tuned to the low tenor strings that now are very close but most often
just sharp.
This raises the bass enough and not too much like when using the SAT
program.
If the Bass is 30 to 50 then I use the program
