tuning question

[Jay Mercier]

On a more serious note, is there a typo here?

Yes, I meant 3 half steps - middle c would be an "a."

Technic - raise the pitch as fast as possible.  I performed about 4-5 passes 
on that piano before even attempting to tune it.  Each pass should take no 
longer than 15 minutes each.

For pitch raising I like to tune a quick temp. in about 2 minutes, proceed 
to tuning octaves all the way to the top, then come back down tuning the 
right string, then go back up again tuning the left string.  Then I pull the 
bass up.  Then I do this procedure over again and again until the piano is a 
few cents above a440.  Proceed to tune.
