Tuning fluxuations

[Don]

Hi Michelle,

The instrument will last a whole bunch longer if you control humidity. Have
a look at my web article called "Fine Tuning the Environment for Pianos".

If I were the proud owner of such an expensive piano my very first task
would be to add a full humidity control system including a bottom cover and
an Edward's string cover.
