Piano Location

[RptBob1@AOL.COM]

Hi:
When you say new home, do you mean recently built?  If so, the outside walls 
of most new contruction are insulated-probably with an  E rating of  12 to 
19.  That gives plenty of insulation value  so that the piano can placed on 
an outside wall.  Keeping it away from windows and direct sunlight is still 
important and should be observed.
If the house is an older one ( 40 years or older), then try to determine if 
the outside walls have any  insulation at all.  It could have been added by 
owners after the original owners sold the house.
On older homes, sometimes just touching the outside walls in winter can 
reveal the degree of insulation .  If the walls feel clammy and cold to the 
touch, there may very well be no  insulation present.
The above comments are from experience in the Northeastern Ohio region where 
we "suffer" through a rather long and cold winter season.  Present weather is 
the exception (70 degrees I am told).
