    I don't understand your question.  The fork would be what it is.
Besides at intermission you would never think of changing the pitch of the
piano unless you have 1.5 hours of tuning time.  So it doesn't matter.

    My point was to accept the pitch changes temperature changes bring with
performance.  I think that is part of the skill of what is expected of any
musician making up to $60K.    I can assure them the piano will usually be
between 1 cps  plus or minus from starting pitch.  If they need to find an
instrument with less variance, I would be glad to assist in finding such an
instrument at half the Union Scale per hour.  ---ric
