Organ Pipe Pitch vs. Air Temperature
By Johan Liljencrants

In MMD 2004.07.16.08 Charles D. Lightfoote asked about the effect of
heat and humidity on pitch as it relates to pipe organ tuning.  Partial
replies were given in MMD 2004.07.17.01-02 and 2004.07.19.06.

Having earlier discussed this to some depth in the MMD Pipes Forum
I ventured to rework my material into a short technical article:
Sound Speed and Pipe Tuning.  It was reviewed by Pipes Forum members
and now appears in revised form at
