Hygrometer

[Richard Brekne]

Hi Dale... 

I think whats been said is that the shop climate is not
controlled. I dont think anyone has said anything about
climate control in the hot box. Perhaps a small detail
really given the extremes in Humidity in New York, but
still.. So.... anyone seen Steinways Hotbox ?

To take all this a step further.... I wonder how much
difference it makes with such climate control, given the
fact that from the first minute an instrument is place on
the trucks to ship out, or at least from the first minute
they are on the floor of some store... the climate is
probably just as uncontrolled as most other places.

I mean ok... say NY Steinway installs state of the art
building climate control systems, super seal their
intruments and ship them off to some Jacksonville store
where the Humidity is 90 % at 90 F. Seems to me you have
just delayed the inevitable.... or what ?
