Why would you not want to pull 'em a > bit sharp? Actually, you can usually get a 100 cent flat piano at 440 pitch within 3-4 passes and never go above 442 to do it. I suppose you can call that overpull, but thats not what folks normally mean when they use the term. That said... even sticking to 440 as a limit.... a couple passes more and it will stay there. Theory is one thing, reality is another. Take the elections for example..... grin... no I guess I dont want to go there after all. Cheers RicB
