She's been informed far beyond casual mention, and seemed smart enough to remain so when the mystic predictions come to pass - by the numbers. We'll see. Ron N </blockquote></div> <div> You tell 'em and you tell 'em and then they call and say "it just went out of tune, I don't understand it"! </div> <div>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. </div> <div>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! <sheepish grin> Mike -- Never become so much of an expert that you stop gaining expertise.
