Doors. We needed doors. Taking care of this piano is like taking care of a baby. Or good cigars. The room can't be too hot, too cold, too humid, too dry. Can't take direct sunlight. Needs to be on an inside wall. The humidifier system installed in the piano itself needs to be watered periodically. The lid should be kept up when not in use. No, no! The lid should be kept down when not in use.

We have one dehumidifier, two humidifiers and one cooling fan all used at various times depending on the temperature and humidity readings at any given moment. Crazy making.

After two months of electric bills made it obvious that we were managing the climate of the entire first floor, we decided to install doors at the two entranceways into the room.

They are lovely. And they do the trick. What's more, when I practice I feel I'm in my own little world. How delightful!
