Going over it twice

[Kristinn Leifsson]

Hello,


when one encounters a piano with the bass relatively sharp compared to
other parts of the piano regardless of overall pitch, does that not
indicate out of tuneness because of humidity changes?  
(Bass strings being longer and therefore requiring more change in
soundboard volume for the same amount of pitch fluctuation for the shorter
strings.)
