>I'm not so sure what the imformation is telling me. >Regards Roger Only that you measured a pitch drop, and that's the problem. That information alone is something a tuner would want to be generally aware of, but by itself, it doesn't answer any of the questions I am interested in. How does this pitch drop compare, in the same piano, at different points in the scale? How about from piano to piano? What conditions in the piano are common to the phenomenon? The pitch drop is just a measurable indication of the phenomenon, not the "why". A lot more detailed information about the system is going to be necessary to connect any sort of cause and effect relationship. This isn't a real hot item, and I do have other things to do, like making a living and annoying the folks out there in List Land, but I eventually hope to gather some sense out of the thing. Even if it just comes down to me not being smart enough to understand it, I still have to accumulate as much information about the system as I can to have something to work with. I need a pile to rummage through. Maybe after the spring music festival crunch. Ron N
