"All that (significantly) matters is the dew point." I agree. It is only my opinion that it would be quite a bit easier to throw a damp-chaser rod inside/under the piano (better yet to also throw a blanket on top) for a day or at least several hours prior to bringing into the warmer environment, and at least as effective (maybe more so). Don't mean to be too terribly argumentative. ;-) Terry Farrell Piano Tuning & Service Tampa, Florida mfarrel2@tampabay.rr.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Don" <drose@dlcwest.com> To: <pianotech@ptg.org> Sent: Tuesday, September 12, 2000 11:38 AM Subject: Re: pianos in freezing temps. > Hi, > > All that (significantly) matters is the dew point.
