  My record for a pitch raise is 12-minutes for about a 40-cent PR.  I
usually take about 15 minutes and it leaves the piano sufficiently close
that the tuning just takes another 45 - 50 minutes.  Because of TuneLab's
spectrum display you can do the PR without mutes.  That saves a LOT of time.

  aye. sorry about your handheld. that sucks.
  but it's raised a question. using tunelab, how long does it usually take
to do a pitchraise? i often hear about how it really improves the speed of
pitchraises...

    List,

    I've been having trouble with my handheld lately.  It hasn't been
responding to screen taps properly, no matter how many times I try to
realign the screen.  I called IPAQ tech support and they suggested soft
reset(which I'd already tried and which didn't work), then hard reset.  That
killed it, because the screen would still not align, and the unit was stuck
in that mode....:-(  Back to the repair shop it goes, and along with it go
Tunelab, Mapopolis, and my calendar.

    Back to tuning fork, Thomas brothers, and pencil and paper.  Sure am
glad I developed my aural tuning skills.  The one thing I'll really miss is
the Pitch Raise function of Tunelab.  Should be an interesting couple of
weeks.

    Reliance on technology has it's own set of problems, doesn't it???
