<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Re: [CAUT] huge pitch raise question</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> Hey, Michelle, When raising pitch by 100 cents or less, I overshoot by 10% in the bass and 25% in tenor/treble, sometimes 25% tenor and 30% treble, particularly in uprights and when closer to a 100 cent raise.  Over 100 cents I just pull it 30 cents sharp. Let’s say, for instance, I do a 100 cent raise; then in the tenor the total pull is 125 cents.  When I say I bring it all the way up in 15-25 cent jumps, I mean in this for instance it would take me 5 or 6 quick jerks to get the pitch in the neighborhood, then a finesse to get it within 1-2 cents of the target.  I don’t go for more precision than that on a pitch raise.  After one pass, the piano is usually within 2-3 cents of standard pitch.  That’s just one reason why I love my Verituner! (Yes, the same is true for any ETD, I just happen to own a Verituner.) Regards, Ken Z.

You said "when I do a big pitch raise. I usually bring the string up in 15-25 cent jumps" does this mean how much you overshoot??
