<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Other than an electronic keyboard and I have had this done
in the past with great success. Build an insulated box using solid foam
insulation. The kind used in outside walls when building. Put the
box on wheels (casters work well) with a double door in front that swings
all the way back and use one of those 1500 watt heaters that have a thermostat.
Works great. If they don't want to use a heater, a few 100 watt light bulbs
mounted to the box will also work.</FONT></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Hi, I work in Canadian churches
where the heat is turned down in between services not off. I think
everything said is true. The churches I work in usually have an office
that is heated. Maybe you are lucky and the office is near enough the
church and the secretary could share the office with the piano.

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I’m afraid a climate control
dampp-chaser system alone in freezing weather would not be enough to keep the
piano from harm of the elements even if it were in a storage closet or box.
(It would need a source of heat and probably air conditioning pumped into it).
If they can’t push the piano from a heated, climate controlled area I
would recommend a keyboard. Or heck use the old upright until it has its other
foot in the grave?</SPAN></FONT></P>
