Hi Jim,

I tend to agree with those who have advised you to get a room humidifier. 
Easier, cheaper, helps the expensive organ too. Also, though I guess low RH 
is more of a problem than high RH in your neck of the woods, what about 
Moisture-Sorb? I have had good luck with one packet sitting in my 
harpsichord here at home - though Austin's RH has been pretty high 
recently, the tuning has held comparatively well. You could install a 
couple packs in the pipe chamber of the organ as well. Another idea to try....
