[CAUT] Harpsichord tuning tips/string setting

[central]

Fred and All,
      A visiting harpsichordist many years ago, (sorry, cant remember his
name), observed my piano like pin setting technique on his harpsichord and
commented, "you must always approach pitch from below."  He said that
approaching target pitch from above will result in the string going sharp.
If it is flat just raise to pitch not beyond.  (This is for pin and string
setting only, not overall pitch raising)  Somehow it seemed counter
intuitive.  What do you think?
