Try and tune a semitone flat piano to A440 in one go, and you are giving = yourself a loss and two hours or more=20 Brian ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Farrell=20 To: Pianotech=20 Sent: Friday, October 10, 2003 9:26 PM Subject: Re: Pitch Raise, was: Standard Pitch Comments interspersed below: ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Brian Lawson=20 To: Pianotech=20 Sent: Friday, October 10, 2003 2:15 PM Subject: Re: Pitch Raise, was: Standard Pitch Hi, let me say it again, as sometimes I think I'm writing posts to = myself on pianotech. No, I read it, but I don't understand it. A pitch raise, my definition: The purpose of a pitch raise is have all strings slightly or more = sharp than "standard pitch" The object of my pitch raises are to have all strings at target = pitch. A pitch raised piano is an out of tune piano, but sharp to " = standard pitch" Why would you want the piano sharp? If the client wants their piano = at A440, I would recommend that one tune it to A440, not something = sharper. unisons are not in tune, 4ths, 5ths octaves are close or wildly out = of tune and that only takes about 15 - 20 mins! Then, you do your first rough tune to get it sounding close. It is = because it is easier to tune from sharp to correct pitch than to pull up = from flat shall I go on? Sure. But it seems to me easiest to tune a piano that is already at = target pitch than one that is either sharp or flat.

This is an idle boast. I'm with you in setting this up as a = test! I use my patent "quadrant" approach (see post "Raising Don Rose to = Standard Pitch" ) I hope Don will forgive my blatant use of his name to = identify a partic. posting!!!
