Hey Caut's;

I went over to one of our venues and lowered the pianos from A-444 to 440. 
 It's so humid, that everything is sticking. Soft pedal action wont return 
the action to rest (temp fix: loosen the cheek block screws)  Lots of 
squeeks and groans I've never heard from these instruments before. Since 
they get moved so much, I can't really get a DC on them.

It's supposed to relax starting this Friday.  School starts a week from 
Monday and it starts up with a bang! 

Should I hold off til next week or trudge into it now?  First recital in 2 
weeks.

How much does humidity affect voicing?  The Steinway D needs a little, the 
Baldwin D needs a lot.

Thanks
Paul
