Hi Terry, I don't take 15 minutes to do a pitch correction. But after the pitch correction generally speaking at any where between 50 and 80 cents no note is out more than 4 cents. I've become increasingly less comfortable with "fine tuning" after a pitch correction. I don't believe this improves the instrument as much as coming back in a week or a day. I use Reyburn Cyber Tuner in pitch correction mode for nearly all my work--unless the piano measures out at only 2 cents from true. Then I use my ears and RCT in temperament mode with the Baldassin/Sanderson sequence, followed by RCT in pitch correction mode to double check the treble--if any note is flatter than I'd like--then I'll use the RCT suggested overpull on it.
