---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Friends, This request brings another question to my mind. Has any one of us actually seen a piano damaged, or experienced tuning instability, solely because it was placed by an outside wall, above ground level? Or is this a situation where common sense would say it is inadvisable but there is no proof? Regardless of answers I receive, I will still alert my clients to the potential problems of putting a piano there in an uninsulated house. I did find mold or mildew inside an old upright against an outside wall in a church basement, but I've found the same thing in a piano located on an inside wall on the main floor of an occupied house. In both cases the humidity level was obviously too high somewhere along the line.
