Hi. See the pianos out in the cold Tuesday? >g< Joe Goss RPT Mother Goose Tools imatunr at srvinet.com www.mothergoosetools.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Barbara Richmond To: pianotech at ptg.org Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2009 2:42 PM Subject: [pianotech] tuning cold pianos Howdy, A colleague and I are going to be tuning pianos for the Illinois Music Educators Association All-State Convention. Of course, the venues will store the pianos in not very well heated storage rooms, where we will have to tune. It's been awhile, but I remember that stage lights make pianos go flat, so if these pianos are cold when we get to them, should we tune high (if so, how much?) and assume they'll fall in pitch when they warm up? Will the treble and bass sections change at the same rate? I can't count on the pianos having been tuned recently. This gig is always <interesting>... I do it for the money. :-o Thanks, Barbara Richmond, RPT near Peoria, IL -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
