Sorry, Guy, I wasn't curious enough to check. Now I would be! The truth is, after I turned off the lights I didn't bother to service the piano that morning. I thought (right or wrong) it wasn't worth my time. I had 89 other instruments to look after--and there was always someone waiting...... The conditions in that hall were good--after the thermostat was fixed. I heard from the faculty that it had been bad for years. I started sweetly squeaking at the physical plant staff the moment I got hired. ;-) After it was corrected, there was never a problem with the tuning wandering during a performance.
