Perhaps our methods differ; during a pitch = raise, I tune the single bass strings and one string of each bi-chord = first, then I pull out the strip and tune unisons by ear. I'm also = tuning the bass first, ala Sanderson. When I do a pitch raise, I do it = with a SAT (Gets you real close, real fast), so I do the bass first. I = can understand the 10% overpull thing only if I've already brought the = rest of the piano up first.=20 Please clarify. ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Joe And Penny Goss=20 To: pianotech@ptg.org=20 Sent: Wednesday, August 21, 2002 7:46 PM Subject: Re: Pitch Raises ... Multiple Passes? Kevin, If the bass is about 30 cents flat I want to raise the note about = three cents sharp ( about 10% ) of pitch. So with a SATlll that raises = the pitch 25% that would result in too much over pull for me so I will = set the over pull for 12 cents and roll the program into the machine. I take only one measurement at A2 to arrive at my over pull. Works = very well for me. I use the 25% in the tenor and about C4 the 30% to the top then = retune. On pianos 25% or less flat or sharp I use the Verituner 100 and its = 10% bass, 30% tenor, and 36% treble and retune.

Here's another little brain saver: What if you're pitch raising = a piano and want to do a 20% overpull in the bass, and it's, say, 28 = cent's flat. (let's see, one fifth of twenty eight would be ......... = ah........ ah........) =20 Take 28, and double it for 56. Move the decimal point over to = the left one place.=20 5.6 is 1/20th of 28.=20 At least, that's how I do it.=20 ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
