Here's another way:

        Now to deal with the overpull where the pin has
        moved to a sharper position but the pitch of the string
        has not changed; I lift straight up on the end of the
        shaft until the pitch of the string changes.  Keep in
        mind that what I am doing is actually bending the pin and
        not moving it in the block. Next I give a jiggle to the
        pin to restore it to equilibrium at the same time I am
        delivering hard blows to the piano key. Repeat steps as
        necessary.  Likewise you can tune a string to a lower
        pitch in which case you would bend the pin in the
        opposite direction.

But you're not REALLY bending the pin, right?
