OverviewExcerpt from The Manuelo, the Player Piano That Is All but Human: Care, Regulation, Repair A player piano (or plain piano) should not stand against an outside wall, in a damp room, close to a window, or Where a strong draught of air blows across it. It must not be near stoves, hot air registers, steam pipes, etc. When not in use the case should be kept closed. Nor should a piano be subjected to sudden changes of temperature. If the room in which the instrument stands is cold, it should be warmed very gradually to prevent the moisture that is easily held in warm air from being condensed on the piano strings and other metal parts that require more time to warm up. Rapid heating with a gas stove will cause rusting and will make the hammers and keys sluggish in their action. Sudden changes in temperature will inevitably cause checking of the best of varnish work, because of the unequal expansion of the wood and of the var nish coat.
