My cousin, John Allen, wrote about using pitch for determining spoke tensions back in the early 1980s. IIRC it was in Bike World, a long gone consumer rag. Most of us use pitch more to determine the relative consistency of spoke tensions, and not the ultimate tension. Plucking all spoke with a finger nail will give one a lot of info for free and in less then a minute. Andy
