5-minute pitchraise

[Clyde Hollinger]

Friends:

When I first heard of this feat, it was a fine tuning in four minutes. 
I reckon the version printed here is closer to the truth.  So can we
have a volunteer show us at Kansas City how to do even a 9-minute
pitchraise?  That's about 1 string every 2.5 seconds.  I sure _I_ would
learn something.  Somebody?  Anybody?!  Please?
