Hi all,

I am still pursuing humdity effects on pianos.

The piano:

Young Chang G-157 (small grand) ten years old tuned four times in the last
year. 

The conditions:

Humidity on Feb 3 2000 was 22%

Humidity Aug 1 2000 was 51%

The observsation:

In every 3 string unison the "bass wire" was significantly flat of the
middle wire and the "treble wire" was significantly sharp of the middle wire.

I did take time to measure c7 which gave the results b = +6 m = +12 and t =
+19. There were many notes that had an even greater spread, but I feel this
note was probably typical.

Would anyone else like to confirm these oberservations? Please?
