And obviously it will suck the pitch down not up. So there! ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Alan=20 To: 'Pianotech'=20 Sent: Saturday, March 26, 2005 9:49 AM Subject: Flat Facts This question is so basic and naive, I fear the wrath of the list so I = will ask it annonymously ... Customer asked: "I understand that humidity change is the principle = cause for going out of tune, but if it gets flat than sharp, etc., why = is the long term trend always flat? In other words, if it's a fact that = the tuning pins are slowly turning counterclockwise with playing and = weather, why can't you just lock them in place, somehow, so the piano = stays close to pitch all the time?" I stood there staring stupidly and could not conjur a = sensible-sounding answer. What would YOU say? Mystery Writer Salem, MO -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
