Last week I pitch-raised a 7' Bosendorfer about 30 cents. After the second pass, I checked the treble and it was anywhere between 2 &4 c sharp. This is a fairly new piano with an exposed pin block (tuned very nicely). I attributed it to the fact that it had a cover with full length sides (to the floor) and that the piano was acclimating to it's exposure to the air. (no DC). I experienced something similar to this a few years ago while preping for a concert. The piano was brought it from a non-AC location to an AC'd building. A quilted cover was on it. The piano had bee placed the day before. But after emoving the cover and through the tuning, I noticed the shifting. So I waited a bit (action maintenance) and resumed keeping my finger crossed. I wasn't too worried, they were going to play something by Crumb. -- Regards, Jon Page
