[CAUT] Brodmann pianos

[Ron Poire]

Hi all,
I do some work for a dealer who sells Broadman pianos.
These pianos are quite sensitive to low humidity.  Here in Minnesota, the 
store has experienced a couple cracked soundboards, and as a result of the 
low humidity in some homes and schools, you also have unstable action 
regulation.
Keep the humidity level up where it belongs, then you won't have any 
problems.
