Raise</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Hello all,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I just performed my first pitch raise (aural) in a clients home
today. It went really well...my arm is tired. I just had a =
quick
question.</DIV>
<DIV><BR>After the pitch raise, and while I was fine tuning, a few of =
the
strings in the tenor section started ringing when I played them. =
What
would cause that? Thanks!</DIV>

Matthew,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> That's cause you =
broke the
piano.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Just =
kidding---</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> How old---How =
cheap was the
piano.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I pitch raised a =
"Grand"
spinet and had complaints along these lines.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Old uprights with =
hard as rock
dampers can develop this "leakage " after a big P.R.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Or maybe the =
ringing was
always there and you didn't hear it because you were playing =
---not
tuning </FONT></DIV>
