RCT 100 cent pitch raise

[David Ilvedson]

Which brings up a question...how much do these readings change from one tuning to the next.  I tend to take the reading sand enter them in the piano (in pencil on the grand plate or upright hammer) then enter the #s into my SAT the next service.  Sanderson said the #s tend to get better?...lower?...the more piano is tuned (something to that effect)...I can't believe it can make much of a difference in the overall tuning if a reading is 6.7 or 7.0?
