This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Julie, I just let the piano guide me. If a unison is really wild because one = string is way off, I measure one of the two that are closer together. = If A0 is way off, I measure a few other notes in the bottom octave, = because A0 may not be representative. And if I get a big difference in = an octave, I'll sometimes measure D# in between, just to get a little = closer picture. I picked 8 cents as a pitch raise guide because that's what the PTG = website (and bulletin) used to say. Dean Reyburn told us recently that = he's down to two cents. Time to update my graph! --Cy-- ----- Original Message -----=20 From: KeyKat88@aol.com=20 To: pianotech@ptg.org=20 Sent: Thursday, December 29, 2005 9:32 AM Subject: Re: How to explain a pitch adjustment In a message dated 12/21/2005 9:13:15 AM Eastern Standard Time, = jodel@kairos.net writes: I measure pitch on all the A's before I start, and record this for = the customer on a graph on the invoice.
