Is there a Vacuum Cleaner tone Reference List (VCTRL) available somewhere on the net ? Does this also word with kitchen vacuum ? 2/ I suppose the pitch depends on the temperature... 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 ?

It was a different pitch on the low setting. Does anyone here own an Oreck?

(The dial tone is an A) Actually, there are two tones, an A and an F#. At least in Chicago, that's the case, and in fact, the F# seems a bit louder than the A.
