Hi Richard,
The Baldwin model R tends to be a very stable instrument,
and does not shift as much at the tenor end of the bridge with humidity
swings as the G2. I know I'm generalizing. <G>
In the spring when the snow melts, the G2's in the studios will climb as
much as 30c for the first 5 tenor notes. 10%RH to about 40%RH. I don't see
this kind of swing on Model R's in similar conditions.
>From the description, I would be more likely to put the problem down to
tuning frequency, 2 months is a long time in pro usage. Secondly, the
environment is probably up and down like a YoYo. Bar owners tend to be cheap.
Tune more often or live with it.
