etd tunings

[Benny L. Tucker]

    Tain't gonna happen!! At least that's my experience..
Henry F. Miller spinet, December, cold weather, low humidity, 2-pitch raise
passes in small pitch raise mode, 1 pass fine tune mode, 1 extra pass to get
unisons extra clean, all this for a 40 cent flat piano.
    Tuned again yesterday, very high humidity, piano sounded fine. Fired up
RCT, flatness ranged from -8 to -20 cents. 1 pass in small pitch raise mode,
1 pass fine tune, and 1 pass unison clean up.
    This is typical for me, regardless of the quality or length of piano.
