<DIV>Hi Tom,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Outside walls. get them all the time. If its a wall that does =
not
fluctuate in temperature its OK. Depends on two factors, sun on wall =
during day
and temp low in winter. If the outside temp falls below 10 degrees C, =
outside
walls are not stable enough to ensure no damage to the piano. Minor =
variations
can be overcome by keeping the piano 6 to 10" away from the wall. I will =
often
suggest using the piano as a room divider and put a heavy drape over the =
back.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards</DIV>

in a 20 year old home she needs to put her piano on an outside wall =
(she
