Aural Pitch Raise

[Elwood Doss, Jr.]

Some technicians like a challenge; some technicians prefer not to drag out
electronic equipment in front of the customer; some technicians like to
travel light; some technicians are cheapskates.  Seems to me that either way
is viable.  If I had wanted to tune using a machine, I would have purchased
a Strobe-Conn in 1970 when I purchased William Braid White's book, "Piano
Tuning and Allied Arts," instead of waiting until 1990 to take a piano
tuning course.  I, for the life of me, can see the use of using my ear to
raise pitch...I do it quite often--today, for example.  Different strokes
for different folks!
Joy!

have been done prior to the pitch raise?   I, for the life of me, can't see
any use in using my ear to raise pitch...
