------ =_NextPart_000_01BBE675.54BC2880 Greg, Since you have only tuned the piano twice and this is the piano's first = year, tuning instability should not be evaluated yet. After 6 tunings or = 2 years (whichever comes LATER) you can _begin_ to evaluate whether the = tuning is stabilizing or not. The Humidity / temperature fluctuations from this kind of environment = will certainly make life difficult for this piano, although if it is a = steady 80 degrees, the piano should be able to settle down and handle = it. The problem is, of course, that in winter this will probably mean = 15% RH in the room. Unacceptable. Loose tuning pins really shouldn't occur. If they are becoming difficult = to tune then you should contact the manufacturer / distributor to = discuss it. Keep in mind, though, that tuning pins have to be = _extremely_ loose before they actually slip and make the piano go out of = tune. Marginally loose tuning pins make it difficult to tune, but do not = in themselves make the piano go out of tune. Sluggish action centers and tight damper guide rail bushings do not = necessarily come from high humidity. There are other causes, especially = in lower cost new pianos, which are related to the installation of the = bushing cloth and fitting of the pin. These problems will have to be = addressed separately from the humidity problems.
