Thanks for completely validating my tentativity and chickenness, Terry!! <g><div><br></div><div><div>PB</div><div>SM<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Oct 31, 2012 at 10:20 AM, Terry Farrell <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mfarrel2@tampabay.rr.com" target="_blank">mfarrel2@tampabay.rr.com</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div><blockquote type="cite"><div>I've never attempted a blind overpull,</div></blockquote> </div><div><br></div><div>CHICKEN!!!!!!!!

But hey, I tried it! I just don't see how it would be possible to do a blind pitch raise and get everything within a couple cents - or even all within an average of a couple cents. But then, there are lots of things I find difficult to do - very often just because I am not skilled at it. I dunno - maybe with practice. But even with practice, it just doesn't seem likely to come close enough. I'd really like to watch someone do a "good enough" 60-cent pitch raise blindly and have the piano ready for a good one-pass tuning (i.e. have the piano within a few cents of target for tuning pass). It would be very interesting.</div> <div><br></div><div>Terry Farrell</div></div></blockquote></div><br></div></div>
