pitch lowering

[Joseph Garrett]

My own theory on pitch raising and lowering has to do with the soundboard 
catching up with the pitch change in the wire. I believe the soundboard 
takes at least hours to conform to the new tension (whether higher or lower) 
and regardless of how much in one sitting you change the pitch to stabilize 
it will still change more because of the inability of the soundboard to 
adopt to the new tension level that quickly. That is why on pitch raises 
(over 25c) I come back in 2 weeks after to retune..


One should, also, take into consideration the de-compression of the plate and the rest of the structure. It is ALL connected, you know.<G>
