Duaine, There's a thread on aural pitch-raising in the archives from January 2006: http://ptg.org/pipermail/pianotech_ptg.org/2006-January/thread.html which might be helpful. There are other threads from other eras, as well... I just searched <aural pitch raise> and the above thread was on the first page of the hitlist. Personally, I'm still (unfortunately) tied to my ETD, and will probably remain so for pitch corrections for some time to come. But if I were to PR a piano that's a full semitone flat, I'd start by (with ETD) a pass tuning to A440, without overpull, then a second pass to overpull for the smaller amount it's now flat. I reckon that if I dropped my ETD or if the battery died (but it's a SAT3) I'd attempt the same procedure aurally.
