Kevin,

I am definitely interested in how you do pitch raises with the SAT III. 
I'm still trying to understand all of the "bells and whistles."

        I suggest you go back and re-view the video with Jim Coleman Sr,
and George Defebaugh. Mr. Defebaugh will show you how to tune the
temperament 33% sharp using the single strings, and stretching the
octaves as you go up. Mr. Coleman will show you how to do it with one of
the early Accu-tuners. Since the time of the tape, the SAT has been
upgraded a lot. Depends on your methods as to how you plan to accomplish
a pitch raise. 

    As to the first part of your question; I do a pitch raise any time to
piano is four or more cents flat. I may not always charge the customer if
it's that close, but as George Defebaugh used to say, " It's better to
quickly tune a piano twice, than it is to struggle with it once."  
    Believe me, from experience I know it's true. 

    If you really want to learn the best way to do pitch raises with a
SAT 2 or 3, write me privately. I've got it down pat.

Subject: Pitch Raise Questions


I am currently a Randy Potter student with some questions about pitch
raising.  When I measure the pitch of A4 with my SAT III, how low (in
cents) should it be for me to need to perform a pitch raise?  Also, when
performing a pitch raise, is it better to raise only the single strings
all the way up, or should I raise all of the strings of each note as I
go?

Thanks,

Don Palmire
