Pitch Raising Techniques

[pianolover 88]

<<So you don't do as Al suggests? Tuning all 3 strings as you go from A0 to 
C88?
Why? And why don't you use the PR function in the SAT III instead of 
measuring 25%,
33%, etc? Just curious.>>

I DO indeed use the PR Function; The Sat lll allows you to choose TWO PR 
overpull options. I use them as stated in my original post. And the SAT lll 
manual does not "require"  that you tune unisons as you go; You can either 
tune center strings first, or tune ALL three as you go. I simply prefer my 
method and it works beautiful for me. As previously stated, there's more 
than ONE way to tune a piano, and achieve the same excellemnt result.

Terry,

So you don't do as Al suggests? Tuning all 3 strings as you go from A0 to 
C88?
Why? And why don't you use the PR function in the SAT III instead of

&gt;I use my SAT lll to calculate overpull, usually none in bass, then
&gt;25% in mid and 33% in treble, tuning only center strings as I go.

&gt;David Love said: &amp;quot;15% overpull in the bass, 25% in the
&gt;midrange, 32% in the upper range.
&gt;On small spinets, reduce the numbers by 5% each.   Do unisons as you
&gt;go.&amp;quot;
&gt;
&gt;
&gt;David,
&gt;I must take exception to this technique! Although, it will work most
&gt;of the time on most Olde Uprights and Grands, there is always the
&gt;exception. This technique is archaic, to say the least. There are
&gt;better ways. The 32% in the upper treble will most likely get
&gt;someone in a world of hurt! Most strings, in that area, are already
&gt;at/above 50% of their breaking strength!!! You raise it another 32%
&gt;and strings will break, IMO. I've done some studying on the subject
&gt;and wrote an article for the PTJ, in Dec. 1999.
