What I was trying = to indicate was that I used a very small (four-or-five-cent) overpull to = try and raise pitch a quarter step in less than five passes. What I = actually did was pull each string about four or five cents sharp of A440 = - even at that rate, on a normal piano, it would have required at least = two passes to end up at A440.
