Pitch Raise

[Don]

Hi Ed,

If there are two beats per second between your A fork and A4 on the piano
you are well into "pitch correction" area. Personally my own "limit" would
be 0.5 bps at A4 for pitch correction to not be done.

Don't forget that the mid treble may be considerably flatter than the pitch
at A4.

"Two pass" tuning takes no more time generally than "one pass". First pass
is "quick and dirty" and "second pass" refines the tuning.
