Well, Terry, when I lived in Florida the humidity was about 175%.  Okay I'm
eggszagerating, but I wouldn't call it a dry heat.  So if you move the piano
to a drier locality, it loses weight.  Cracks open up and you gotta fill
them.  I think I'd use left over hanging chads with some west systems epoxy
to fill the holes, drive the pins in wet and tune it before the epoxy gets
too hard.  Okay, not the first choice for high end work.  (Gotta pull your
chain every chance I get, (G).)
