Subject: radiant heath system Hello, A Yamaha C-5 owner is house shopping and has asked me if a radiant heating could harm her piano. I did a google search only to find out that this system heats the objects in a room and the objects then heat the surrounding air. Has any of you had experience with this kind of system? Can any of you lighten me up on this? Thanks, Marcel, RPT We have radiant heat throughout our house. They are cove heaters about 8 feet long mounted about 10 inches from the ceiling. When on, they feel like sunlight. There are no drafts. Objects in the rooms are too far from the heaters to get hot. Humidity is easy to control with a couple of room humidifiers--one on each floor--when necessary. Humidity swings are slow and gradual. Our Mason & Hamlin upright, circa 1900, is quite happy. Paul C
