What is the best temperature to maintain this piano - especially during the winter. This is a Casio px850

The user guide says to avoid temperature and humidity extremes and to avoid direct sunlight and direct heat sources. Since this is consumer electronics, it will tolerate a much wider range of temperature and humidity than a fine acoustic piano. The ac adaptor spec is 0 to 40 deg C, and 10 to 90% relative humidity.....a very wide range.

Not sure and there's nothing in the manual addressing temperature ranges for use. My guess, since this unit operates from a battery, it may not perform as well in very cold temperatures. I would also be concerned about frost jamming the mechanism. There's a technical support number you can call, 800-222-1055. Good luck.

It depends on temperature and frequency of activation. I'm in NY and it's' been very cold. After about 2 months the units performance became erratic. Just replaced the batteries and it's working well in the snow and fridgid temps. Keeping the dogs away.

I had to leave mine in snow and ice and subfreezing temperatures this winter at a remote location. Unfortunately I haven't had the chance to check how it did and I won't be able to do it until the end of April. If no one else has a better answer and you're not in a hurry, I'll provide an update at that time.

well, i have to say i was pretty hot for this keyboard but now, 1 year later, i am not. the entire lower register is out of tune with itself (the black keys are about 1/5th of a semitone sharp, all they up to about middle A). i brought it to the only casio repair place in new york city, and they told me they had no calibration settings in the keyboard, and that i was stuck with the fault.Casio was not helpful. they told me if i wanted to box up the unit and send it to the factory (i would pay the fifty dollars shipping of course) they would 'investigate' and i woluld have an answer in 30 days.so i would not buy this again.hope that helps well, i have to say i was pretty hot for this keyboard but now, 1 year later, i am not. the entire lower register is out of tune with itself (the black keys are about 1/5th of a semitone sharp, all they up to about middle A). i brought it to the only casio repair place in new york city, and they told me they had no calibration settings in the keyboard, and that i was stuck with the fault.Casio was not helpful. they told me if i wanted to box up the unit and send it to the factory (i would pay the fifty dollars shipping of course) they would 'investigate' and i woluld have an... » Read More well, i have to say i was pretty hot for this keyboard but now, 1 year later, i am not. the entire lower register is out of tune with itself (the black keys are about 1/5th of a semitone sharp, all they up to about middle A). i brought it to the only casio repair place in new york city, and they told me they had no calibration settings in the keyboard, and that i was stuck with the fault.Casio was not helpful. they told me if i wanted to box up the unit and send it to the factory (i would pay the fifty dollars shipping of course) they would 'investigate' and i woluld have an answer in 30 days.so i would not buy this again.hope that helps « Show Less

Mine's been outdoors since I got it last year and it's been great. I live in Georgia and we did have some freezing temps but not in the sustained way you'd have up north.

In Los Angeles, we don't have freezing temperatures. However, this is a very sturdy and reliable piece of exercise equipment. It is manual and not electrical and thus has no restrictions that I am aware of in the normal operation. On Mars or the Moon, there may be other factors of lessened wind resistance etc. Enjoy

Hi Rosalie, I am not a piano tuning expert, but I believe piano tuning technicians use strobe tuners to get the strings generally in tune. After that, the scale is "tempered" by ear, which very slightly lowers or raises certain strings so that chords will sound "in tune" but are not technically exact. I believe this tuner is one of the best on the market for accurate tuning, i would not guarentee a piano will sound perfect if every string was tuned exactly to this, or any tuner. So, I must say that I can't really say yes or no. I'm sorry. That's as much as I know about it. I highly recommend for guitar, harp or instrument scale that does not require tempering. Good luck!

I wouldn't suggest that you keep it any where that it can overheat- room temperature best - key rings are best because they are with you . Hope you find a good place.

There is a temperature dial with low medium and high and its really easy to use the coolest setting would be low that what u would.turn the dial to.

No I do not and I has been working fine, no problems at all. My daughter goes to piano classes and she plays it every day. I'm sorry for the late response!

Mine went down to 5 degrees last winter without a problem. So far this has been the best camera for me to date. Batteries have a long life as well.

Wow, I had one last 3 years. My current one is on its second winter. Are you in a high sunlight or very cold area?

I use the snowmobile ones on my Spyder. The snowmobile ones just get warmer. I use high to warm things up and then switch to low to keep them warm. I ride in temps down in the low 30's with no issues.

That is correct - this pad is not thermostatically controlled and, generally speaking, should not be used in above-freezing conditions. I solved that issue by adding a thermostat to the circuit. My pad now comes on and off around 25 degrees to keep my battery warm when it's cold but doesn't cook it when the weather is nice.

I have mine set to a temperature of about 40 degrees F. No ice build-up yet, 3 months and running. I'm happy with my purchase.

We have had our set for several years. We live in Texas and most winters are not bad. This past winter was a freezing one. Our set has stayed fine.
