Hi Dale,

In your situation I'd use the dehumidifier only on humidity control. It
would probably eliminate your floaters.

Personally I think 4 cents is "a lot" and 2 cents is "quite heareable", so
I guess we feel differently about that. 

I learned to tune more or less with help at conventions (thanks Dr.
Coleman, David Pitsch and Rick Baldassin) as there was really no competant
tuner in my area at the time. No one told me 1 cent was a small pitch
change so I aimed at 1/10 of a cent.
