    Dampp Chasers are a must for any hope of stable tunings in these =
situations. The problem is getting someone responsible for caring for it =
(even after the custodians unplug it to vacuum and forget to plug it in =
again). I measured relative humidity in a situation like that and during =
the course of 2 days it fluctuated from 25-72% and the temp from 64-78 =
deg. Rusty strings are another problem. Someone else may some input =
here.
