---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Barbara, If the temperature/humidity is very much different, I'd insist on at "least" the day before. Preferably with the lid left up during that time. With our harpsichords, I always try and get them into whatever hall at least the day before. Then if possible, I go in that day and open the lid for a few hours before I have to tune it. Thankfully, I don't really have much of this kind of problem! I guess I'm lucky!
