Deep Freeze piano

[Richard Brekne]

Actually... this is quite interesting.

Freezzing the piano also means drying the heck out of it... for 24 hours
... the instrument experiences a rise in pitch ??? An improvement in
sound claimed as well ??? What "more reasonant" means is not really
said.

Might be fun to see what this guy comes up with. I love it... instead of
just swallowing hook line and sinker what everybody <<knows>> the fellow
actually tries putting this one to the test. And his initial result
points in the opposite direction everyone else is looking.

Bravo !

     The "Verituner" had tested the soundboard's tone Wednesday at
     a low-octave D.Chernobieff had hoped it would drop to a
     C-sharp after a 24-hour freeze.  But the piano that came in
     from the cold defied his scientific theory.  Instead of a
     C-sharp, the "Verituner" showed the piano's tone had actually
     raised a whole step, to E.

     Chernobieff looked disappointed for only a flash. "At least
     the tone changed," he said, as he pounded the soundboard like
     a drum. "And the sound is more resonant. Listen."
