Re: How long to acclimate?
Variation on the already proposed theme:
When the carton is room temperature i open the ends and remove and packing material so i can touch the ends of the case.
When the ends are room temperature i remove the case.
When the case is room temperature i open the latches and crack the case.
When i can put my fingers through the crack and feel the instrument is room temperature i open the case.
When i can put my fingers around the edge between the case and instrument and it all feels the same.
I'm good to go.
When i've gone through all this frustration everything is fine.
When i haven't, i wished i had.
This is for cold weather in northern Vermont.
Good Scotch helps with the wait.
