Starting Pitch chart

[Don]

Hi Greg,

It is an interesting idea--but how do you propose to quickly "chart" the
whole piano? I believe it may be very "time consuming" (read longer than it
takes to do a pitch correction).

I'd suggest the area you call "pitch correction" be a light pink going to
heavy red as the chart increases in value.

Unfortunately I've also learned what TMI means sometimes. Some folks just
want their piano tuned. (TMI = too much information). This goes against my
grain for I'm a very curious person who "wants to know".
