Hi Ed, Like I said--that's a pitch correction! 2 cents for concert work--and sometimes that's too much. Humidity control is a must do if you are getting that much seasonal drift. I had the opportunity to listen to my work 24 hours after a major pitch correction (-23 cents at A4 and worst note -61). The piano had drifted back up by about 1.2 cents and there were a few unisons that were less than splendid. Just fine for domestic work but concert level? *NEVER*.
