      <image:title>Blog - Why We Avoid Putting Pianos on Outside Walls &amp;amp; What’s Changed - What’s Different Now?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Today, many newer homes are built with better insulation and well-sealed windows, so walls no longer feel cold to the touch in winter. However, in older homes (even those built as recently as the 1950s to 1980s), cold walls and drafty windows can still be an issue, especially if the building hasn't been updated. So while the old reasoning about outside walls affecting your piano’s tuning may not apply in every case, it’s still relevant for many homes.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Why We Avoid Putting Pianos on Outside Walls &amp;amp; What’s Changed</image:title>
      <image:caption>For example: Placing your piano over a hot/cold air vent can cause more tuning instability than a cold outside wall ever would. Putting a piano beside a frequently opened door that lets a –40 °C draft of cold air in or a humid summer breeze creates temperature swings. Sitting a piano next to a wood fireplace is probably the worst choice of all.</image:caption>
