Hey all- Thanx again for your posts about this. It's been great reading all of the responses and seeing how others tackle this situation.. I do use an accu-tuner for those that asked if I have an ETD. Seems the consensus is to raise the pitch all the way up on the first go. Guess I'll try that next time. I must be some sort of wimp.. ;) I would like to attend that pitch raise class that Don Manino does though, and I'll totally keep my eye out for that.. Cheers!
