You know for all this pitch raising effort you still are going to have a
piano that needs that second pass.  I "never" over-pull!  I take my FAC
readings in relation to A440 pitch...yes I bring those strings up to pitch
no matter where the piano is at pitch-wise...I start at A0 and tune each
string as I go quickly, 15 minutes.  For me, overpull is going to mean a
sharp piano when I start tuning.  I think someone mentioned, you guys have
too much time on your hands.
