You tell 'em and you tell 'em and then they call and say "it just went out
of tune, I don't understand it"!
I have one of those little digital temp/humidity guages from Radio Shack. If
the piano's in direct sunlight I put the gauge in the sunlight facing the
window, within 10 minutes the temperature on it will read 15 to 25 degrees
hotter than the room, I then call them in and show them. It does a much
better job than all of my lecturing.
I had a woman I went through the move the piano away from the windows speech
twice a year for several years, I got that guage set it in the piano while
the sun was shining, showed her and the piano was moved the next time I
came! Many people need to see it to believe it. Sure glad I'm not like that!
