Seasonal pitch change:

[Leslie Bartlett]

For me it seems to be the string with the shortest length from the capo bar
to the tuning pin. That string tends to be sharp, while the opposite one
tends to be a tiny bit flat for me..

Hi Ron,

Then perhaps for long term stability the string with the shortest length
should be tuned first, followed by the next shortest and finally by the
longest?
