  Thanks, Carl,=20

  Obviously, Terry has never lived in a really low-humidity locale and
  had a piano come in from somewhere like Florida, or Houston for that
  matter, that had been there for many years! :-) I have!=20

    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).)
