TYPE="CITE">I am currently a Randy Potter student with some =
questions about
pitch <BR>raising. When I measure the pitch of A4 with my SAT =
III, how
low (in <BR>cents) should it be for me to need to perform a pitch =
raise?
Also, when <BR>performing a pitch raise, is it better to raise =
only
the single strings <BR>all the way up, or should I raise all of the =
strings
of each note as I <BR>go? <BR><BR>Thanks, <BR><BR>Don Palmire
