Humidity (Moisture mystery)

[Michelle Smith]

David and John,  

I think this is exactly the case.  I just got a hygrometer last week and the
humidity in the room is a whopping 55%.  (Cinderblock building, tile floors,
kept very chilly, etc.)

I'll add this to my list of "lessons learned".  

Have a great day!

Michelle Smith

We're still in the higher humidity time of year. (It was 52% RH in a couple
places I worked today.)  The system was probably dehumidifying, which caused
the pitch drop.

I always tell people to wait on the tuning after a DC install (or plugging
it in as in your case); I'll come back in 3-4 weeks after the major changes
have happened.
