[pianotech] pitch raising

[Terry Farrell]

I use the Verituner program for pitch raises and I go from A0 to C88.  
If I've tuned the piano previously (have a tuning on my computer), I  
will tune it A0 to C88. If the piano is new to me and up to pitch, I  
will start in the middle, go up and then back to the middle and down.
