Our band director in high school never did figure out that temperature has an effect on the tune of brass instruments (all instruments really, but wood moves less). He insisted on tuning up the band in the un-airconditioned band room and then had them perform in the auditorium, with AC and usually 10 degrees cooler (at least). Screeching brass going sharper as the evening wore on. Very painful.
Of course students didn't know anything.... _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
