pitch raise

[Joe & Penny Goss]

Hi all,
This reminds me of a old upright that was all over the place out of tune.
The piano had been moved to Idaho from a Catholic school somewhere in the
mid west. In checking the piano I found that all of the naturals were 1/2
step low and a good scale. The sharps a minor third low or more.
I am guessing that the person who played only played in the key of C so
only tuned the white keys.
Using my SAT, and using the pitch raise program, one pass brought the
instrument up to six cents flat.
