Hi,

If the piano has a full system with bottom cover and smart bar then having
it run dry in the summer is not really much of a problem. I find that the
single tank system will last about ten days when fully filled--and of
course that's not counting the "reserve" capacity.

You don't mention if the piano got new strings. How many tunings has it had
in the last year?
