Friends, It happened again yesterday. A piano that was usually relatively stable for its annual tunings was quite flat this time. Several years ago I ran into the same phenomenon. In both cases the family had installed air conditioning since last year, which lowers the indoor humidity, which can drastically affect the tuning. I thought someone on this list may benefit from this bit of info. Now something I've been thinking about lately. My wife and I have a small room air conditioner in the bedroom and another in the large main room area. I regard room air conditioners as quite noisy and I dislike the noise, but it's usually preferable to the heat! Can that constant whoosh be damaging to one hearing?
