SIMON GABRIELOW Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) My goodness its been hot! Like living inside a huge oven; with me in it as the cooking chicken! Then I thought just now... All that hot air being blown in and out of our concertinas! Like fanning the oven in itself! I suppose it may have slight affect on the metal reeds (metal expanding or contracting?).. and as for leather bellows; put suncream on it ! 😁 Maybe Handel's Fireworks music would best suit the current climate too? But lets just hope soon for a refreshing shower ( Water music) to help cool us all off ! Just a thought on a hot summer's evening July 2022.

Ruairi Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Been thinking about this a lot too, Simon, here in Midwest USA; I just got a hygrometer yesterday that showed about 43% humidity in the house. Introduced some hot water and it went up to about 50 which I think is normally recommended. This morning it showed 68% humidity. I wonder if these fluctuations are too much for instruments (esp. my concertina) or is that an acceptable range. I don't want to spend the rest of my days checking these levels but I do want to keep things in the proper range too... Thanks, Ruairi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMON GABRIELOW Posted July 29, 2022 Author Share Posted July 29, 2022 The weather over here UK has cooled down a bit since ...(thankfully!).. but maybe with my concertina being kept in its own box ( made of veneered wood).. perhaps it helps to maintain a little bubble of steady temperature.
