Pitch Raise Experiment

Reminds me of old Friday night shop game:

By way of quickly de-stringing old upright on the way to the dumpster,
place piano on tilter, remove bottom(pedal)panel, aim bottom of piano
towards open shop door.

Apply hammer and cold chisel to bass string below pressure bar.

Scoring is computed by distance.
