Humidity Change and Unisons

[Don]

Hi Larry,

Your results confirm my own. As to explanations. Well some how I believe
the bridge is moving *more* on the treble than on the bass side. As to why
or how I have no clue. It may also be that the bridge is getting *longer*
though why this results in this particular distortion pattern I have again
no answer.
