The most I've ever encountered was almost 200 cent low. I was nervous about the strings breaking, but once I got started, the strings were willing to accommodate the extra tension, almost as if they had been waiting for someone to finally pull them up to where they belong.

Even though I use an ETD some, using the pitch raise function ONLY with an ETD on a 300 cent pitch raise, I'd be a little nervous about the amount of overpull. Depending on the age and condition of the piano. Maybe it's just me, though.

Duaine,

You are starting to change your tune, but that's okay.
  because the tune you are advocating here
  falls more in line with what generally is experienced as what is.
