Under Floor Heat Causes Player Piano Failure
By Doug Anderson

I am enjoying the Christmas break playing my new 1900 Weber grand
piano.  I am now reading that our new piano and our new house may be
incompatible.  The great room where the piano has set for six months
has a concrete floor with radiant heat.

Other than putting a humidistat in the room near the piano to see how
big of a problem I have, what can I do to keep the radiant heat from
destroying the grand?

Thanks!
Doug Anderson

 [ Insulate the piano from the radiation with a rug of cotton or
 [ other material that will withstand the sustained floor temperature.
 [ Monitor the relative humidity in the room closely; you probably
 [ will need a humidifier.  -- Robbie
