<DIV>Since we are on pitch raising I do have a question.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>When you begin a pitch raise, do I strip mute the entire tenor and treble sections as I would for a regular tuning? The reason I ask is that I have done several practice pitch raises so far. And I strip muted each time. So, as I go along and tune the center strings sharp, the surrounding two strings of each note seem to "bleed" through and I can hear them, even though they are being muted.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Just wondering what you all can tell me about this.</DIV>
