If the temperature differs due to playing conditions, the resonators will require adjustment in order to obtain opti- mum resonance. q When the temperature is higher q • As the temperature rises, tone bar pitch lowers and resonator pitch sharply increases making it neces- sary to lower the pitch on the resonator to compen- sate.
