Thanks Don for the insight on pitching raising with the RCT. Wouldn't it be great if we could get an electronic tuning aid to have a "sliding" scale for each individual tuning scale? Each time I do a pitch raise I write down how far flat the notes are before tuning, and how much compensation I used during the pitch raise. Then after the pitch raise I see how close the piano is to what the final tuning should be. I hope that after years of practice I can begin to see what a particular make and model piano needs for the "sliding" scale in pitch raising. Unfortunately, I work a lot on some pianos, and others I may only do once in a lifetime, so it is hard to see a track record on those I do infrequently. Now if all the tuners pooled their results .... Don wrote: > Hi David, > > At 07:10 PM 2/17/98 -0700, you wrote: > >In deed you are correct.
