Greetings Ed I came across a post that you wrote in response, dated February 2006, "Best way to tune a piano using accutuner 3?" In major pitch raises, I usually begin at the bass break with the pitch raise function set from maybe four or five notes higher, (those last few notes at the break can often be a lot farther off than the piano in general). I let the pitch raise function sample the A's (every octave) as I go straight to the top, unisons as I go. Then I do a fast raise in the bass, then I tune it, often in the same pattern, and often using the pitch raise function again to make some last-pass partial-cent corrections for lingering flatness or sharpened over exuberance... To me it seems that you have no problem pitch raising 4-5 semitones higher than what the actual pitch of that particular piano is standing at. Can you explain what you have written above, maybe I am misinterpreting and therefore I will misapply it? I have come to believe that the general consensus (I think) about pitch raising is, +-30% in middle, +-35% in treble and +-20-25% in the bass. Your thoughts would be most welcome.
