Re: Temperature of room

Just to keep things the same when I am checking tuning, I keep a thermometer stuck to my old Korg AT-12s. I try to get the practice room at close to 72 degrees F.

Of course, in real life, we seem to be always burning up or freezing ... rarely ideal temperatures.

I ran a calibration lab for electronic (not musical) instruments and we always closely regulated the temperature. Just a habit.

BTW, the low F on the Ridenour Lyrique Speranza and Libertas is not flat, and they have no additional vents or keys to accomplish this. How? I haven't a clue, but it's true. I suspect the sonority was very slightly compromised to do this. I will say that the lowest of the chalumeau register hasn't the tendency to "honk" like many other designs. I like like that ... smooth sailing from top to bottom of the instrument.
