Hi all,

We have many variables to deal with. The some of the areas of concern are:

Size of instrument
Quality of Instrument
Age of instrument
Philosophy of scale design
tightness of tuning pins
friction of rendering points
hardness of hammers
playing conditions
lighting
heating systems
air conditioning
humidity control
barometric pressure (which affects the partial pressure of water vapour)
previous work

Many of the above are beyond our control. We have to work with real pianos
in a real world situation. 

I would invite people to comment about the relative importance of these
factors. Please feel free to add to the list.


 
Regards, Don
