  Oxidation is encouraged or accelerated by the presence of electric =
charge or current. Also the presence of moisture and or ionized salts =
[sea air]. Install a heater bar and ground the harp to the electric =
system. The lead is growing because it is combining with oxygen and =
takes up more space. This only happens on exposed surfaces so don't =
drill a hole in it you will only expose more lead to the air.

    If you install that heater bar within the action cavity of a grand =
be sure to schedule time in a couple of years to also replace the =
pinblock and restring the piano.=20
