Pitch Raise Sequence

Greetings, 
   Assume a 20 cent  flat piano, everywhere.  A SAT will have you pulling 
things 5 cents sharp as you go,  actually increasing a little as your efforts 
affect the strings in front of you.  So, let's say the final octave is 22 
cents flat.  Adding 5 cents to the C88 doesn't represent much sharpening.  
Musically, some tuners like the C to be far sharper than that anyway, and 
from a pitch raise standpoint, the difference is neglible to your next pass.  
I don't know of any commercially viable aural pitch raising techniques that 
would provide for C88 to be closer than this to its final position.

   (All this problem can be avoided by not raising that last note past 
standard pitch.....but that means you don't want to raise the B7 either,  
then what to do about the Bb7,  and pretty soon, we realize that there is no 
where to begin and we CAN'T raise the pitch at all! (:)}}
