      Gee, this just goes to show how different we all are.  I have always 
hoped to leave a piano about 1 cent high after a pitch raise.  This is usually 
within the range that pin flex will leave a solidly anchored top-string, and 
the fine tuning can be had with the least amount of hammer work, for me.  
     I imagine that we all have different strokes on the hammer technique 
while we are raising the pitch, too.
