Disklavier

Do you know someone who could borrow the piano for a while? If you don't 
know anyone personally, what about a school or maybe an assisted living 
facility? Long term storage in poor conditions could be terrible if the 
conditions are truly bad or not a big deal if not extreme. How much will 
the humidity vary in the long and short terms. I assume there will at 
least be no rodents?
