Brians comments about having the pitch end up slightly sharp are exactly =
what I was referring to in my post on this subject. With the note =
slightly sharp, it's an easy matter to have the tuning hammer pointing =
downrange, (grin) and you can even grasp it just past the tuning pin =
tip, and use it like an impact hammer to shock the pin down into place. =
Makes for a really quick process that is very stable.

    Hi, let me say it again, as sometimes I think I'm writing posts to =
myself on pianotech.

    No, I read it, but I don't understand it.

    A pitch raise, my definition:

    The purpose of a pitch raise is have all strings slightly or more =
sharp than "standard pitch"

    The object of my pitch raises are to have all strings at target =
pitch.

    A pitch raised piano is an out of tune piano, but sharp to " =
standard pitch"

    Why would you want the piano sharp? If the client wants their piano =
at A440, I would recommend that one tune it to A440, not something =
sharper.

    unisons are not in tune, 4ths, 5ths octaves are close or wildly out =
of tune

    and that only takes about 15 - 20 mins!



    Then, you do your first rough tune to get it sounding close. It is =
because it is easier to tune from sharp to correct pitch than to pull up =
from flat


    shall I go on?

    Sure. But it seems to me easiest to tune a piano that is already at =
target pitch than one that is either sharp or flat.
