PITCH RAISING
The Sanderson Accu-Tuner is able to automatically calculate the overpull (anticipated drop) of a
given note during the course of pitch raising. The Accu-Tuner measures the unknown pitch first,
then compares it with the pitch of the selected tuning, and then calculates the pitch-raise
correction. With the Accu-Tuner IV the amount of pitch raise correction is selectable from either
twenty-five percent or the custom overpull page.
The pitch-raise calculator is designed to be used with a tuning in memory in order to pitch raise
the entire piano to the stored piano-tuning curve. Choose a page in memory with a piano similar
to the one to be pitch raised, or create an FAC tuning. The pitch-raise calculator offsets the Accu-
Tuner the number of cents necessary to pitch raise the piano to the stored tuning (not just to the
zero-cents line).
To access a page of memory, turn the Accu-Tuner on, press the TUNE button and press PAGE up
to the desired tuning of a page of memory.
