Or how 'bout in an open carport under a tarp? Sorry lady, this one is a =
little rough around the edges.....

Actually, as most homes are air conditioned now-a-days, environments are =
not bad. The exception is the very few homes that have no AC, and some =
homes inhabited by very old people - they like it about 90 degrees and =
rarely turn on the AC. When you open the piano and see fuzzy mold =
growing all over the soundboard, that's usually a good clue that you =
might run into a few challenges on that particular piano.

    I don't think folks should be so hesitant to raise the pitch of an =
old neglected upright up to A440. I do dozens of 50 to 200 cent pitch =
raises on 80+ year old uprights each year. I don't leave but one or two =
a year below A440.=20

  I think you're right.  The condition of the piano tells me that it's =
been in this part of CA all of its life.  Minimal rust and corrosion, =
overall in great shape.  I'll tread less lightly in this realm in the =
future.  You must see all kinds of nasty humidity related rust, =
corrosion, fungus, etc.  I'd hate to see a piano kept in a garage in =
your neck o' the woods!=20
