John - Just don't forget to pull it sharp about 25% over what it was (a little less in the tenor) -about a half a beat over 442 if it was at A440 - even if it is only a 2 beat raise, you want to it to be dead set on 442 when you go through it the second time.

Tommorow I am required to raise a piano to 442 for a visiting ensemble. Being an anachronistic non VTD aural tuner type, I nted to confirm my assumptions of how to raise 440 to 442 aurally... Please check and confirm/correct: A440 to A442 is and increase of 8 cents 4 cents at A440 is approximately 1 beat per second raising A440 by 2 beats per second from my fork will give me A442. Am I right? Thanks for the help! >>
