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?
