My record for a pitch raise is 12-minutes for about a 40-cent PR.=
  I usually take about 15 minutes and it leaves the piano=
 sufficiently close that the tuning just takes another 45 - 50=
 minutes.  Because of TuneLab's spectrum display you can do the=
 PR without mutes.  That saves a LOT of time.

List, 

I've been having trouble with my handheld lately.  It hasn't been=
 responding to screen taps properly, no matter how many times I=
 try to realign the screen.  I called IPAQ tech support and they=
 suggested soft reset(which I'd already tried and which didn't=
 work), then hard reset.  That killed it, because the screen=
 would still not align, and the unit was stuck in that=
 mode....:-(  Back to the repair shop it goes, and along with it=
 go Tunelab, Mapopolis, and my calendar. 

Back to tuning fork, Thomas brothers, and pencil and paper.  Sure=
 am glad I developed my aural tuning skills.  The one thing I'll=
 really miss is the Pitch Raise function of Tunelab.  Should be=
 an interesting couple of weeks. 

Reliance on technology has it's own set of problems, doesn't=
 it???
