How weather affects pianos

Exactly, and why I leave a the record in the piano, so the customer and I 
can discover it TOGETHER if I have to go back. Actually, I leave two 
records in the piano. A business card on the plate under the music desk in 
a grand, or under the lid of a vertical, and a stealth record on a piece of 
tape or sticker on either the underside of the music desk, or back side of 
the front board where it won't be noticed should the card with the humidity 
documentation mysteriously evaporate between the tuning and the complaint. 
It's also on the invoice. This doesn't come up often, since I spend a lot 
of time discussing humidity changes and their effects with customers. But 
when it does, I'm covered.
