Remember to educate customers that it's the INDOOR humidity that counts, regardless of what the values are on the roof of some building at the airport. I try to find things that customers can believe from their own experience. Do you ever have static electricity in the winter? It's probably under 30% RH or so (right?). Do you have A/C because it's muggy in the summer? There you go. Do your doors and windows stick sometimes? Do your kitchen chair legs come loose? People can easily see how those cross-braces shrink across grain and break the glue joint. Additionally, I measure indoor RH and temp, along with pitch of all the A's, each time before tuning. This builds up a history for this piano in this place that becomes convincing. --Cy-- On Mar 17, 2009, at 12:11 AM, John Ross wrote: > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Jack Houweling > To: Pianotech List > Sent: Tuesday, March 17, 2009 12:12 AM > Subject: [pianotech] humidity graphs > > Does anyone know of a good website that shows yearly graphs for > indoor/outdoor humidity for any city? > I would like to use something to show customers the fluctuations > throughout the year > for average indoor humidity. > > > Regards, > Jack H Cy Shuster, RPT ABQ, NM www.shusterpiano.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
