Tuning frequency

[Avery Todd]

Mike,

   Good comment. I've noticed the same thing and after 6 years, have
just started backing off some the last couple of years, on the frequency
of the complete tunings, except for piano recitals.
   I will still check the unisons and octaves, but that's about it,
unless there's been a serious change in the humidity.
