The humidity at the time was just a little higher than it had been a year ago (but not much). I would have thought it might just be a weird isolated case, but I've been finding this kind of thing for the last couple of weeks in all sorts of different places. With no way of knowing what the pianos have been through by way of humidity changes since I last tuned them a year ago, I can't begin to account for what I'm seeing. I'm not all that sure I could make sense of it if I did know the day to day history, but I found what I found even if I can't account for it. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Ron N
