When Practice Stagnates – Breaking the Performance Ceiling: Robotic Training for Pianists
“Practice makes perfect” is a common mantra for any pianist, but we all know it’s an oversimplification. While practice often leads to improvement, true perfection is elusive. But according to recent research, a robotic exoskeleton hand could help pianists improve their speed of performing difficult pianistic patterns, by overcoming the well-known “ceiling effect”.

Temperature
on: April 27, 2020, 04:54:21 PM
Hi, just have a question about the effects of temperature on a piano. I may be shipping a piano to my house where there is a room that was added on after construction. It is partially heated/cooled, but the temperature fluctuates a lot. It can get as low as 55 and as high as 90, and there are times when it can go from 60-85 in one day.

Leaving humidity aside, let's assume that's something I can reasonably control (and I'm in the southwest usa), can the temperature fluctuations alone damage the piano? Judging by my guitars in that room, the strings will be stable for a period of time and then one day suddenly drop out of tune. Perhaps this would be less dramatic with piano? Is there any damage that can occur to the piano within these temperature ranges as the wood expands/contracts?

Thx
