ETD Pitch Raising

[Jonathan Finger]

I probably spend an hour on floor tunings.  But keep in mind I almost
never have to do a pitch raise/equalization on floor tunings.  I find
that if the piano is tuned frequently, then it doesn't drop enough in
pitch to warrant a pitch raise.  Usually these pianos are within 5
cents, which for a floor tuning can be hit in one pass, and remain
stable.

Some on the list do floor tunings for piano dealers.  How much time do
you
spend doing a pitch raise ( lowering, correcting ) using an ETD, and
does
this task leave the paino in reasonable tune for a floor tuning.
Several
times a year I'm faced with "bulk" tunings--time consuming, but doesn't
pay
well.  RCT claims a pitch raising program that can yield an acceptable
floor
tuning with one pass.  Can this be done with Tune Lab Pro?  How much
time
does it take you?

Thank you.
