Diary of a mad pitch raise

[Steve Blasyak]

Hey Now,

I think it was Alan Barnard who mentioned the two strip method seemed to applicable to grands only.

 Hi Steve,

Not sure whether or not I am the Alan referred to earlier in your post.  In case I am, to clarify, when I raise pitch, I also tune unisons as you go from the bottom up.  The alternate double striping is for the final pass on a grand.

Regards,

Alan Eder

 I do have a different philosophy when it comes to pitch raises. My goal is to equalize and stabilize the tension of the piano. My belief is if you increase the pressure on the bridge and sound board from the bottom up like a wave. Tuning strings adjacent to one another on the bridge were the tension of the string has the most effect on its neighbors. Increasing down bearing on the sound board in equal increments. If I understand the two strip method correctly it seems to me you are changing the tension on strings and down bearing on the bridge and leaving gaps to go back and do again. After the first pass of the section doing left string right string, you double back and do the other side. Sort of a hop scotch method.This may be faster but is it as effective?
