<BR>I've been following this "thread". Yes, Bill, if you use the pitch raising
<BR>program, as I outlined in the PTJ, Dec.1999, it is very possible to get
<BR>"Dead on", with just two passes on a 100cent pitch raise. If it doesn't
<BR>happen, then I would be looking very carefully at the overall structure of
<BR>the "victim piano". If the piano is solid, there should be no problem of
<BR>attaining pitch in two passes.
<BR>As for the "Stretch" factors, that others are advocating, YIKES! They must
<BR>like replacing strings. Some of those "over-shoots" are far in excess of the
<BR>normal sting breakage tolerances. My advice is: DON'T DO THAT!
<BR>Regards,
<BR>Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon)

<BR>OK, Joe, I'm still skeptical and unfortunately I no longer have that issue handy but I do have one question: How long would a 100% pitch raise take using your procedure? Could you perhaps outline (briefly describe) that procedure here?
