That even sounds more archaic<span class="moz-smiley-s14"><span>

I just let Cybertuner do the "thinking" (overpull calculation) and can
tune 99.99% of the time in one pass to A440<span class="moz-smiley-s1"><span>

<div>I must take exception to this technique! Although, it will work
most of the time on most Olde Uprights and Grands, there is always the
exception. This technique is archaic, to say the least. There are
better ways. The 32% in the upper treble will most likely get someone
in a world of hurt! Most strings, in that area, are already at/above
50% of their breaking strength!!! You raise it another 32% and strings
will break, IMO. I've done some studying on the subject and wrote an
article for the PTJ, in Dec. 1999.</div>
