[CAUT] Climate Control

[Ed Sutton]

Stephen-

The temperature change as described should not present a problem, so long as 
the humidity is really controlled as promised. Don't tune the pianos until 
they are back to room temperature. Pianos aren't sensitive to cold unless 
there is an associated change in humidity.
