Hi Ric,

>How long are you talking about from tuning to change?

We originally did the Master about 2+ yrs. ago but when giving tests, I'd
never noticed any problem before. Yesterday, while giving it just a
'beginning of semester' tuning', was the first time I'd noticed 
anything different.

The only difference that I know of is that we've had some unusually cold,
dry weather (for Houston) the last week or so. It's actually gotten 
down to around 22 F. For here, that's cold. :-)

In my shop, the humidity has also hovered around the mid to low 20's since
I've been back.

The piano is in a teacher's studio, so there was no fan or hot light, etc.

Thanks,
Avery
