Let me introduce myself.

[Joe & Penny Goss]

Hi Pat,
The short answer that you might not want to hear is Practice and a 1000
pianos.
What helped me the most was the PTG and a little lesson of trying to see how
many times my technique was able to raise or lower the pitch say 25 cents up
or down.
Secondly as you get into the top octaves the feel of moving the pin a few
cents becomes more and more a feel of I  think it moved and check to see if
the pitch will hold.
