Muting high treble

[Farrell]

I always tune with individual rubber and felt mutes. I don't strip-mute. While practicing tuning on my Boston grand with my new Verituner yesterday, I tuned it with one pass my normal route with two mutes to get it right at pitch. Then I strip-muted it to do some experimenting with my new tuner - wanted to do some interval tests, etc. without having a bad unison goof me up. When I started my strip-muted pass, the whole darn piano was two to three cents flat. Do any of you strip-muters find that adding that little bit of extra tension to two-thirds of the strings on the piano affects pitch in a like manner?
