TuneLab Pro.  This software saves me money every day.  Practically every =
new piano I visit needs a pitch raise, from 40 to 120 cents!

I let it measure every note to calculate the appropriate overpull on the =
first pass, and on the second pass, it amazingly comes out very close, =
even for huge raises.  Two big time-saving features: the spectrum =
display, so I can crank through the whole piano without ever touching a =
mute (all the strings of a note are visible), and with Pro, the timed =
note switch feature.  You can't auto-switch from B3 to C4 when they're =
at the same pitch!  With the timed feature, it automatically switches up =
to the next note.  You can delay the switch by continuing to play the =
note you're on.

Paul Chick Sr. also has a great class on pitch raising and fine tuning =
in 59 minutes or less, using aural techniques.  Check these archives.
