[CAUT] pitch raises in practice room row...

[Chris Solliday]

I often use the same approach and I feel the same way about the results. I'd even go one step further and say that when I return to those pianos in three months for their next tuning that they have held a little better and become progressively easier to tune, unless of course someone has unplugged or otherwise neglected the climate control system, in which case we are back to square one.

  I got to thinking yesterday about pitch adjustments to a bunch of pianos in one day.  
  Has anyone tried an "assembly line" approach to doing a few at a time?  That is:
   
  1 single pass each piano
  2 go back and sencond- pass after letting them settle for the hour or so it takes for #1?
   
  I'm just wondering about stability and ease of tuning.
   
  I did three yesterday on similar P22's. 
  Pitch-raised (25-30 cents for solo and ensemble practice) all three and then
  started a second pass on #3. 
  I also "banged in" the piano with the dampers up on #2,#3 after the PR
   
  When I finally got back to #1, it seemed to settle a little bit easier into tune,
  but that could just be wishfull thinking!
