Cents: was help with bad tuning...

[Terry]

NO! Actually, since the advent and wide-spread use of air conditioning (oh,
thank you Mr. Carrier!), the indoor environment in Florida is likely one of
the most environmentally kind environments for pianos. Indoor RHs commonly
range from perhaps as high as 75% in summer to rarely lower than 35% or 40%
in winter. Still a swing that good climate control will help, but not the
nasty swings of 80%+ to 2% that some climates provide.

However, I do have a few clients that either don't have AC, or don't use it
and open all the windows and doors in July. These pianos look worse in five
years than most after 100 years.

I have seen a few pianos that were stored on a back porch or in the garage.
Let me tell ya, they don't last long like that!
