No mute pitch raise! ** NO MUTE pitch raise!! ** It works optimally when you're more than 20c flat, so that the pitch "peak" that you're moving is distinguishable from the others on the spectrum display. Often the slope of the peak causes it to combine with the other notes, making it difficult to distinguish which one is moving. So as I get close and have a feel for how much each bump on my Cyberhammer is raising it, I "throw" the second and third notes as close as I can to the first one within that +/- 10c window. I get my Cyberhammer in the right hand, tap the note-up button with my left hand, and go for it. I'm regularly through the first pass in less than 15 minutes, and it's comfortable activity, not such a frenetic rush like it used to be when I was moving mutes. It's really nice. Standing up in front of grand pianos too. Great tool. Jim
