[pianotech] Pitch raise criteria

[Rob McCall]

David,

This seems to be the consensus that I'm hearing.  Above 2-4 cents off  
is probably a pitch raise with the exception of the few pianos that  
are doable at 6-8 cents.

I did give them an overview of what I'd be doing and why, as well as  
the risks involved (strings breaking, etc.).  They were just fine with  
that.
