Local house piano at a performance center is to be tuned at A440 ( Meydenbauer Center, Bellevue WA). Biggest problem here is that I must pitch raise and tune for each performance because where the piano is now being stored there are two air ducts. One is the air conditioned supply as per the whole complex, the other is a direct supply from the street. Go figure. I hadn't tuned this piano for about a month, and discovered, albeit too late, this alarming dichotomy. Stage manager has been advised and we are trying to get the duct from outside closed, a Dampp-Chaserer system, or a room dehumidifier or perhaps all three corrective items in place. Pitch swings of 25 cents are common in the break area now. Joseph Alkana
