Hi all, I always seem to be asking questions instead of contributing some answers but maybe others may also learn something from the answers, too. I just received a call to tune in a church and was asked whether the air- conditioning should be on or off (personal comfort aside, of course). I've wondered about this many times. My, perhaps idealistic thought is, if the piano is tuned during the week with the air on and enough time to stabilize, would it have a good chance of returning (more or less) to that tuning when the air is next turned on for the Sunday service? Does it make any real difference? This particular tuning is being done for a concert by a group called The Continental Singers. I usually try to tune for a concert as close to performance time as possible but this time it will have to be done on Tuesday for a Friday concert. Some churches, especially large ones, don't really want to turn on the air because of the cost. I can understand that, but in a climate like Houston, I was just wondering if it would make any appreciable difference in a situation like the above? Opinions/experiences appreciated. Thanks again. _____________________________________ Avery Todd, RPT Moores School of Music University of Houston Houston, TX 77204-4893 713-743-3226 atodd@uh.edu _____________________________________
