>...told her that as far as I know she >doesn't need to worry that temperature swings will damage the piano. >Was I right?... >Clyde Hollinger, RPT Having directly experienced what you mention, Clyde, on more than one occasion, the current policy I adhere is to advise customers that temperatures that fall outside a customary domain of human comfort, that is, below 60 degrees, and above 90 degrees, create an unsuitable environment and undermine the performance and credibility of a piano. I also advise that in subjecting a piano to such environmental conditions potentially voids an existing warranty, and that I personally and professionally would not be able to support any efforts on their part to have a manufacture honor such warranty should problems occur.
