Hi Richard, This may or may not be related but I thought I would share some similar things I have noticed for whatever it may be worth. I have noticed especially in this area (G4-E5) of some S&S D's (and other pianos as well) that I get a drop (or rise) in pitch, both audible and measureable with the accu-tuner of sometimes close to 6 or 8 cants . If played just slightly harder the pitch rises. On a lighter blow it is lower pitched. In this area there also may be strange and variable downbearings, side bearings,aliquotsegment lengths and maybe upward pull on on parts of the bridges from note to note that I have imagined to be a poosible factor. I have also noticed that this is not as noticable at all times of the year-or maybe it's my touch.
