PIANOS AND TEMPERATURE

Room temperatures of low to mid 70's in the summer and mid to upper 60's in the winter are ideal but unless pianos are exposed to extreme heat of above 90 degrees, or close to freezing cold temperatures under 38 degrees, for extended periods of time they are not likely to be damaged.
