strict temperature effects

[Alexander Galembo]

If the changes in strings are responsble for the pitch changes with the
temperature, then  lowereing temerature should highten pitch. If the lower
temperature makes pitch lower, it means that the iron frame changes are
responsible for the pitch changes.
Right?
