[pianotech] pitch of a piano

[tnrwim at aol.com]

Yes, Marshall, the pitch of a piano does go sharp when the temperature rises, or goes flat when the temperature drops. You understand, of course, only if the temperature in the room in which the piano is goes up or down. The pitch also goes up or down depending on the humidity level in the room. 

Isn't this something sort of basic that your learned in school? So why do you ask?

Hi Everyone,
I thought the pitch of a piano rises when the temp rises or goes sharp and when it's cold goes flat?
