pianos in freezing temps.

[Richard Moody]

I have 20 pianos in various out (unheated) buildings that have spent 3 to 10
years in mid west winters of at least 10 below on occasions.  Have never
seen what you describe. Perhaps what happened is the piano was wet as in a
flood or leaky roof.   Or spent the winter outside.   I do have three hulks
exposed to the elements and they display the symptoms you mention.
