[pianotech] Soundboard deflection - Pitch raise

[Tom Servinsky]

Del,
Just finished visiting WA for the second time in 11 yrs. If you remember 
your last heat wave....1998, the year you let my family and I sleep on your 
boat in the Sound, close to the 100 degree mark. Our latest excursion 
brought us to Seattle on July 28, and it looked like we brought the Florida 
heart once again. It think we hit the 104 mark a few times, with no AC at 
our place.
It was nice to get back to the sweltering hot and humid Florida summers with 
our daily thunderstorms, bringing peace and harmony back to our lives. And 
AC!
Tom Servinsky

| We have had the mother of all rainy summers this year.  The
| pianos are going bonkers.  I have tuned some pianos in the
| last couple of weeks that were almost 40 cents sharp on
| middle C, and the high treble as much as 85 cents sharp.
|
| It's such a rainy summer that my standing joke is, "All this
| rain and humidity is making me suicidal.  I was going to
| slash my wrists, but I couldn't get the knife drawer open!"

No we haven't. We're coming up on the driest season on record. As well as 
the
hottest. I mean, 107.6º in NW Washington state! Come on, this is ridiculous.
