There are many other factors at work in these situations.......air conditioning cranked down to compensate for a large influx of people at one time.....all the moisture those people add to the air...ambient temp rise due to those people.... the lights of course.....the very act of playing the thingee...etc., etc............What we have with a concert instrument is a thingee which is trying to change constantly to match its surroundings which in turn are constantly changing over relatively short periods of time. Now these changes on the instruments part may take place at the pace of a turtle...but in some cases a verrry fast turtle. The only answer is to do the very best you can, given the conditions you are given, and taking 'known' change factors into consideration...then just do it!! My view. Jim Bryant (FL)
