Should I wait for = my Vacuum cleaner to stabilise ? How long ? 3/ I'm in europe and we are supplied in 220V 50Hz. Do you think this can = make a difference in pitch for the same model of vacuum cleaner between = Europe and US ? 4/ If for any reason I had to use a supplemental power supply cable... = Is there a risk that it infuences my reference pitch ? Should I pay = attention to this ? 5/ May I use the same vacuum cleaner for the tone reference and to clean = the piano ?
