JazzMando What's New - We ran these suggestions back in 2007, and it never hurts to review how best to deal with cold weather shipping when most of the US is deep in the grip of an arctic cold front. Three words you don't want to hear in the same sentence: "record," "cold," and "January," and with the extended temperature forecast seeing lots of negative Fahrenheit numbers, one should be concerned about long term car storage and shipping.
http://jazzmando.com/new/images/Trek.jpgThe biggest concern isn't so much the temperature as it is the extreme transition. Leaving an instrument in the trunk of a car in subzero for more than an hour demands special precaution returning to room temperature. The natural insulation of the case won't do much good if a frozen instrument is exposed to a 50-80 degree rapid temperature variation. Move slowly.
We also listed some shipping tips worth reviewing. Many are rightly concerned about sending instruments around the country during the colder months, but understand music stores do it all the time. Caution is imperative on the receiving end, so be sure the recipient is savvy to proper warming procedures.
