You know, David, if you could use a humidifier and a shorter time
frame, <br>
the changes to the committee's tuning might tell you if this theory
has legs, and the <br>
lack of time in between might eliminate a variable. Any changes you
would <br>
see would be due strictly to humidity, and not to the passage of
time and <br>
the use of the piano. I assume you aren't going to seal the piano
away <br>
for six months and let no one play it? <br>
<br>
You could have the committee do their thing, record it, use the
humidifier, <br>
have them come back the next week, record the changes the humidity
made <br>
before they retuned it, then see what they ended up with after the
second <br>
tuning, and record that. That way you'd have an exact record of just
how much <br>
the tuning had changed and how much they had to do to bring it back,
<br>
uncomplicated by six months of piano practice or performances. <br>
<br>
Lots of recording. It's a good thing I don't know how to do that ...
<grin> <br>

I lived in a big apartment complex once, run by a peppery lady from
Massachusetts, <br>
who could fix ANYTHING. She was almost ridiculously capable. Once I
mentioned that <br>
she might figure out how to fix cars .... "NO! I REFUSE!!!!" she
said. <br>
