I guess there are some benefits to no central heating in winter, as the mandolins are less likely to dry out. I keep mine out of the case at home, near the floor and in an unheated room that gets some warming from the heated room next to it (takes the edge off). Since there is also no sub-floor in the house, the moist damp air from under the house seeps in and I think it keeps the moisture content in the wood pretty good. It rarely goes below 32 degrees F. here so while not exactly comfortable if one dresses right its bearable. Its when I take it out in the hot car that I worry. I have some experience there, another lesson learned the hard way. I wonder what folks do if there is too much moisture in the air, does that cause problems too??
