Every time? Even when the piano is a full step or more flat????????

That would mean you're pulling treble strings in the range of 75+ cents sharp......

Shirley you don't really mean.......  ;-)

  You've got to know aural tuning to get your RPT; that's why I went to North Bennet Street.

  Modern ETDs with microphones that measure each individual piano are light-years away from the Strobo-Tuners of the past.  I use TuneLab for pitch-raising (one pass, every time), and then fine-tune by ear.  All the recent discussion of estimating pitch raise percents aurally shows the worth of a good ETD.

  You need to have a knowledge of aural tuning to get the best out of an ETD: setting octave styles, and so on.
