Hi Terry.
                  Today is Balmy, with lovely sun shine.   Temp -34C with a 
wind chill of -45C.
Warm that air up to your 70F and the moisture content, mmmmmmmmmm RH is 
nothing to worry about..
The gray market pianos around here are a disaster, after a year.  Most are 
sold to very price conscious shoppers,  that seem to care little about 
quality, but solely about brand name.   They get what they deserve.
Even though I am a Yamaha dealer I don't work on them, or take them in on 
trade.
The dealers that carry them, seem to give little, or no service, and hire 
the worst techs in the area to work on them, Snow balling the customer to 
install Damp Chasers,  to solve many of the worn out parts issues,
Have a happy new year all.
Regards Roger
