Hey Laura, The easy answer is, move to Hawaii. Not to rub it in, but we don't have those problems here. Some churches have AC, but they keep it on just about 24/7 because it's cheaper.

So, how important is it to have a sanctuary at the temperature it's used at when 
ou tune the piano?  How fast does the wood take on or let go of the humidity?  
f it was 60% when I tuned it (and 86 degrees Fahrenheit) and it's only 56% when 
he A/C is on, how much will the piano change in pitch?  I can ask churches to 
ool down or heat up the room to the appropriate level, but if they …forget... 
o I have to reschedule?  I'd love to hear your opinions.
Thanking you in advance,
