Pitch Raise Sequence

[Farrell]

I agree totally Ed. If your piano is 50 cents flat to begin with, you will
end up with a tenor and treble section that is about 12 to 20 cents flat.
And then if you don't overpull the next pass, you will still be about 6
cents flat in the treble. You'll really need that two pass tuning after
that.
