On the other hand, what are we actually taking about?
We are talking about a pitch raise on an older instrument.
If you do a pitch raise on an older instrument with new strings, you=20
can accomplish this in maybe 15 minutes.
If it is an older instrument, you have to be very careful and make da=20
choice to what pitch you dare to tune the piano.
The speed of the pitch raise remains the same, the final pitch may be=20
different.
Pitch raise is pitch raise, and any professional should be able to do=20
this certainly within 30 minutes.
The second tuning may take another 30 minutes, and the final tuning may=20=

take you 45 minutes.
So all in all, every professional tuner should be able to do a giant=20
pitch raise within 2 hours, and with a convincing result.

And I mean just aurally, ok?
