PR in treble only

[Kevin E. Ramsey RPT]

You're on the right track. I know one tuner who uses an Accu-tuner who looks
at the over-all tuning, and pitch raises the low spots, and then does the
tuning. One thing I would add though, try pounding on some keys first,
Sometimes the pitch drops because it's just "hanging there" and you'll end
up with a pitch raise anyway.
    Maybe the best and easiest approach it to go over EVERY tuning twice.
Just my two cents worth.
