(613) 837-8671 The spotlights do cast a warmer temperature on the stage pianos where I tune. As a result it changes the pitch of the instrument. I guess it wouldn't be unrealistic to consider this causing possible damage to the instrument over a period of time, especially if left on for unreasonable amounts of time. Keith A.
