[CAUT] FW: [admin] Piano storage

[Ronald E Engle]

I have never been a fan of climate controlled piano storage.  Maybe for
long term protection it's ok.  However the concert hall I work for has a
great climate controlled room for their 2 Steinway D's and it does not do
me any favors.  The pianos are used  for events 3 to 5 times a week
(sometimes more) and that means yanking them in and out of climate
control into a different humidity environment on stage.  This all adds up
to tune instability.  When I finally convinced them to keep it on stage
24-7 tune stability settled down and every one is happier.  Especially
me!

This certainly seems like a recurring theme. Has anyone compiled posts on
this subject, so we might put a bundle together and archive them, maybe
on the caut page resource area? Long term, that might be the beginning of
a FAQ aimed at administrators and faculty, as well as cauts.

Subject: [admin] Piano storage



Greetings from Northwest Missouri State University,

I have a question that I am hoping you can help me with.  We just got a
new Steinway for our recital hall this spring and I am looking into the
possibility of having our construction crew design and build a storage
space for our pianos that is temperature/humidity controlled.  Our
construction manager is wants to learn more before embarking on the
project.  Are there individuals you would recommend that he visit with as
he researches this topic?

Sincerely,

Tony
