Joel, I see alot of this where I live..people waiting for their place to be built and all their worldy possessions in storage..I have never come across one that _wasn't_ stored in a climate controlled unit. A Yamaha C5 is most worthy of the extra $$ spent to put it in climate control. I find it hard to believe that one can not be found either, since this type of storage is more expensive per square ft. than uncontrolled storage. Maybe she can store it in Dallas and have it shipped when her home is built? .. again, more $$. Joel, the most common problem I see with this type of arrangement(storage for an extended period) is with damper guide rail bushings..and I see nothing but climate-controlled storage, or so they say, anyway. She may also want to invest in a complete DC system once the piano is set up in Pueblo..the change in environment is pretty much night and day from Dallas.. roo(k)
