I've often wondered about the relationship of pitch and room =
temperature. Obviously, flutes play flat in cold weather and sharp in =
warm weather and there are ways to adjust for this, but at what =
temperature are flutes optimally in tune and to what degree (no pun =
intended) do makers take this into consideration? In other words, if =
it's 55 degrees and my instrument is playing 15 cents flat, is that =
"normal"? Should it play well in tune at 70 degrees and sharp at 80 =
degrees? Has anyone studied this?
