Hi Dave,
The owners heard that the piano or pinblock might dry out so they are =
misting the piano?

  Listers,=20

  I had a tuning today on a brand new Kawai RX-3 6 foot 2 grand.  The =
piano has been in the house for maybe 3 months.  It was closed up tight, =
but when I opened it, I saw that rust was already starting to form on =
the strings and on some of the pins.  I was shocked, and was at a loss =
to figure out how this could happen, especially in a house with radiant =
heating(that's another issue).  =20

  It is on caster cups on a painted cement slab floor, and there are no =
plants in the room.=20

  I had a few ideas, and I'm pretty sure I figured out the reason for =
this early oxidation, especially after talking to the rather freaked-out =
owner tonight.=20

  So what, in your esteemed opinions, might this be caused by?=20
