Hi Tom,

The structures do move later. Next time you find a piano that is dead on
A440, try using small pitch raise mode. I beleive you will be surprised how
much other areas of the piano can be "out" under these circumstances.

There is always environment as well. 5% RH humidity change moves a small
upgright piano at A4 approximately 4 cents. If the whole piano would
shift--fine, but of course this is not so. Clients can easily hear a 1 cent
differencial in an octave. Whether they find it offensive is another
(subjective) question.
