Ed, Thanks for elaborating on my post about pitch raising. Only one comment in my defense. If a piano is down 100 cents or more (even, sometimes, 50 cents or so), the first time over it I, too will only pull it up to A440 the first time. Especially if it's an old one. That gives me a good feel for the elasticity left in the wire. If a piano is REALLY flat, as you say, you can create new bends coming from the hitch pins by pulling it all the way the first time. It's been so long since I've had to do a "big" pitch raise I forgot to mention that. I agree with you. Thanks for your post. Avery Todd, RPT University of Houston atodd@uh.edu
