Hi Greg, You shouldn't be up so late. My thoughts were in places like Denver where the air is much thinner and drier that if you recorded the pitch of A-4 it would be different than an A-4 in a sea level town. Same thing with tone. I believe the tone would be thinner in stature in Denver than in a sea level town due to the heaviness of the air.???? James Grebe R.P.T. of the P.T.G. from St. Louis, MO.
