Self-tuning piano uses heat and cold to change string-tension
Matt sez, "NYT article about a self-tuning piano that works by heating and cooling the strings. Cool detail: the inventor is a regular at rec.music.makers.piano, and posted there while working on the design. There's also a more detailed article about the system here."
