Hi Terry,

I was using an aspirated psychrometer, a barometer and a formula I had
gotten from Environment Canada (our weather office) at that time which was
as "state of the art" as I could afford.

There is more to the story as well. The piano was a Steinway B and had a DC
system (pre bottom cover) that had been unplugged. I returned it to
service, came back 17 hours later and the pitch at A4 had gone up 13 cents.
I had no choice but to tune it at that point in time because the instrument
was to be used in a performance.

To see the exact unit go to this url and scroll down the page.
