Hi Ron,
	If that has been determined fairly reasonably, I am not aware of it.  
I, personally, think soundboard rise and fall are significant  
factors. Otherwise, I fail to see why those little heating rods and  
pads and whatnot, installed under boards in grands, have a measurable  
(there's that word again) impact on pitch stability. But maybe you  
know different. Maybe it isn't "rise and fall" but some other  
dimensional change. I await enlightenment <G>.
