To the 15 minute pitch raisers out there:

Would this apply to a piano that was, for example, 30 cents flat? Do you =
then, after the one pass pitch raise is complete, tune the piano in one =
tuning pass? If so, can I assume the quick pitch raise got all strings =
to within two or so cents of their target? And after all is said and =
done, does this one pass pitch raise, followed by a one pass tuning =
bring all strings/notes to within one or two cents of target?

I'm not saying any of this is not possible. I can't do it in the times =
reported on this list. I have a hard time imagining someone doing it. I =
hope to have the opportunity at a convention sometime to witness a speed =
demonstration.
