Thanks. > >Terry Farrell Wait, 8 cents is two beats. I should have said 16 cents or 4 beats per second. A piano within 4 beats (~16 cents) can be left with an appreciable tuning for general use with one pass. A little beyond that maybe just a pass over the treble half a second time. It all depends on the situation. Concert work, 2 beats (8 cents) needs a pitch raise and tuning. That's where I went wrong. Lowering pitch is another thing altogether, more difficult. I'd rather raise 4 pianos than lower one.
