Hi David, Unlike pianos organs are affect by the barometric pressure. It is not uncommon for a "great" flute stop to change 30 cents in pitch overnight, atleast where I live.

I've measured several different "A"s from different ranks and found they range from +18.0 to -4.0. This is not counting "celeste" stops. This was measured 2 days after the organ "tuners" had finished their work. I just tuned the piano at 440, and explained that this was the best we could hope for under the circumstances. > >dave > > >David M.
