Did a HUGE pitch raise on a 60's Kohler & Cambell spinet that was as much as 
170 cents flat. hadn't been tuned in more than 20 years. Luckily, the pins 
and strings were surprisingly free of even a hint of rust. Pulled it 
completely up to pitch in one pass, then fine tuned. Also removed action to 
take to shop for hammer filing/reshaping. Brought it back, voiced it and it 
sounded terrific! no broken strings, customer elated! Fun job too! Of 
course, i informed the customer that her piano will need a follow-up tuning 
in 2-3 months to stabilize it. She gladly agreed.
