Sizing

[Avery Todd]

List,

I'm sure most of you know about the flood and humidity problems
here in Houston. Because of what I assume are humidity related
problems, our newest 'D' (app. 3 yrs. old) is exhibiting some
excess friction in some of the hammer flanges and may also be
in the wippen flanges (I haven't checked that yet.)

Since I really hate to go in and do a bunch of repinning because
of what might be changing anyway in the near future, would:

    1. Sizing with alcohol/water be a viable option? If so, what
proportions? Is this probably my best long-term solution?
    2. Should I try to wait a while longer and see if it will ease
up any since our humidity control system is back working again
(for app. 2-3 weeks now).
    3. Or should I just go ahead and do the repinning and get it
over with?

I've never done much sizing of flange bushings, so I'd appreciate
some advice and/or other solutions. Our first concert of the season
is tonight and the primary pianist has decided to use the rebuilt
'D' instead of the one he normally uses.

Interestingly, the rebuilt one, which has all German Renner parts,
has had none of this kind of problem. Even back before they got our
humidity control system going again.

Thanks for any help/advice you can give me.
