holds!

 Greetings,
         Everything will be fine for a couple of weeks, then we have two 
days of 78 degree rooms, followed by a day of 60 degrees, then back 
hovering around 70.  Every time the weather begins changing, the system 
needs a couple of days to react.  Knocks the hell out of practice 
rooms.  Stage pianos are tuned often enough, (several times a week) 
that they ride through the changes with a few cents swing up and down.( 
I do NOT change a concert piano's pitch 2 cents to match 440 if it is 
intact  where it is.) I am trying to get a semester's worth out of each 
tuning in the teacher's studios, but that only happens when nothing 
else goes wrong.  Which is rarely.
        In an ideal world, the budget  would be as elastic as the 
temperature, and I am just wondering what the real world does.  What 
have other CAUTs said to the administration inre costs of tuning going 
up with HVAC problems.
Regards,
Ed
