Thanks. > It would seem to me that there shouldn't be any real damage to the piano, provided it was cooled down normally. My only concern is going to be when humidity enters the house again. The extreme heat probably took all the moisture out of the piano, and when the humidity comes back in the house, ( I see that this piano is on a peninsula), the piano is going to go way out of tune. I would think that it might take several years for the tunings to be stable again. Just my opinion Willem ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
