Got a call from one of my churches the other day. They had a broken string. Really? Who'd have thought? "Do you want it tuned while I'm there?", I asked. "No", he replied, "You tuned it not that long ago and it still sounds fine to me. Just the string". Yamaha G-3, last tuned in March, at 72° and 45% RH. The building today was at 74° and 77% RH. The piano sounded absolutely wretched. But it couldn't be too bad, no longer than it had been since I tuned it - never mind the 32% RH change since then. Duuh. Argh. Ron N
