A client is having a valuable piano transported to his studio. The instrument will be in a truck, driving across blazing hot desert all day long (= well over 100 degrees outside, and who knows how hot inside the the trailer).
The question is this:
When the piano arrives at his studio, which he normally keeps at 77 degrees, 24/7/365, is there any advantage to having the temperature in the studio higher, "So as not to shock it," and to gradually cool the instrument down (as opposed to just putting it in the 77 degree room)?
He did ask if he might be overthinking this, and I told him that he probably is.
