Hot Yamaha

[Bob Hull]

This may not be too hot of a topic with most of you,
but I would like a little advice.

The first question is: Will 100 degree F, be damaging
to a piano as it rides in a trailer for 2 days?  I
don't think glue joints will suffer in this
temperature.  Is this any different than what new
pianos are customarily subjected to as they are
transported across the country in the summer?

I will be transporting a Yamaha grand from Miami to
west Tennessee next week and I am concerned about the
heat. (The piano was originally purchased in Paris
while this pianist was studying.)

I'm considering installing vents to intake and exhaust
air, creating some air flow thru the trailer.  Next
question:  Would you say that the hottest air would
rise and exhaust thru the vent in the roof thereby
helping to control the temperature somewhat?  

I'll appreciate your comments!
