Can anyone please help me figure out how to calculate the change in pitch [in cents] for a piano wire with a given change in temperature? I am not really sure where to start.
I assume that I will need to first figure out the thermal expansion of the wire, but how do I then take that information and calculate the new tension and resulting pitch?
Also, how long does it take something like a steel piano wire to change temperature with a change in ambient temperature (e.g., if the room temperature changes from 68F to 70F, how long does it take for the string to change temperature)?
