HI all,
I am working from home all the time now, as most of us are these days.
My Martin stays in its case in my office, which is subject to reasonably wide temperature changes. We of course don't heat it during the night, or when I'm not in the room, but when I'm working during the day, the heating will come on for a few hours to keep things comfortable.
I am concerned about the effect of this over time on the Martin, which is a GPC-35E and is therefore of good quality.
There has also been talk of moving my electrics into that room, and basically getting all my stuff out of the way of my partner's office space too when she starts using her own room as an office. The electrics are of comparable cost/quality.
My questions are:
1. To what extent is heat damage a concern regarding the acoustic in its case as it currently is?
2. What about the same effect on electrics?
3. If I wanted to put up wall hangings to hang the electrics, would that substantively increase their exposure/risk of damage due to the heating issue?
Thanks

Lowering my expectations has succeeded beyond my wildest dreams.
I was under the impression that it's two separate issues: temperature and humidity. You don't want wild temperature swings, this is bad for the wood, which to me means keeping the thermostat set consistently. And with the ac/furnace going, keep a humidifier running in the room to keep the air moist.
My (somewhat unscientific) approach is the window is kept open and I tend to dry towels on the radiator to add a bit of moisture into the air. The radiator is also set at a lower temperature than those in the rest of the house.
Is it in the centre of the house?
