David, Ditto my Bro. Today at our local library. Steinway M (teflon ,but I digress)Tuned 3 weeks ago @440 with minor pitch raise . Spring has arrived in Ma. along with higher humidity . Todays tuning for an operatic recital and it was 10-12 cents sharp .System unpluged. There went the time for my Starbucks --- sitting in the club chair like the cool dude in a loose mood that I am --- break.
