SAT Mystery

[Lynn Rosenberg]

Hi Jim, it's easy I have a pitched ear, and I just pull the strings up to
with one half tone below the normal pitch.  When I finish the mid and
trebble sections, I pull them up to where they should be, and when I string
the bass, I pull them up to pitch as I install them.  Lynn
