I know I'm generalizing. <G> In the spring when the snow melts, the G2's in the studios will climb as much as 30c for the first 5 tenor notes. 10%RH to about 40%RH. I don't see this kind of swing on Model R's in similar conditions. >From the description, I would be more likely to put the problem down to tuning frequency, 2 months is a long time in pro usage. Secondly, the environment is probably up and down like a YoYo. Bar owners tend to be cheap. Tune more often or live with it. Regards Roger Roger Jolly Saskatoon, Canada. 306-665-0213 Fax 652-0505
