Glad to hear it¹s not just here in DC that these high temps and humidity have caused virtually all pianos at the school to sound absolutely horrendous. I put off starting (this is my first full year, so didn¹t know any better), but probably won¹t do that again, since I feel way behind now. At this point, I¹ve targeted critical pianos for placement auditions, piano studios, the recital hall and rehearsal rooms, hoping I can get them all to sound decent. The air conditioning was off in the recital hall all summer, and just came back on this past Tuesday. But the air exchange was continuous, pulling in tons of moisture. :( -- Paul Milesi, RPT Staff Piano Technician Howard University Department of Music Washington, DC From: mick johnson <mickjohnsonrpt at gmail.com> Reply-To: <caut at ptg.org> Date: Wed, 11 Aug 2010 21:53:45 -0500 To: <caut at ptg.org> Subject: [CAUT] It's sooo nasty humid! I wasn't going to complain this year, but since you broke the seal, Paul, Yes. Our building is hideous right now. Not only are we having our annual HVAC soap opera, they have been painting all of the hallways in the building this week. I have no choice but to get started even though some of the studios are over 90 degrees in the daytime. I have attached a photo of my hygrometer from 9:30pm last night. Yes, the air conditioning was "working". -- Mick Johnson, R.P.T. University of Nebraska, Kearney Kearney, NE 308-237-9264 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
