Here in Laredo we are 2 hrs from Corpus Christie and 4 hrs from South Padre Island. Our climate is essentially coastal with high humidity a constant issue. I am looking for solutions for our high quality instruments to keep the strings from rusting. All of them have some level of corrosion developing. All are a few years young. They all have quilted covers. One has a DC dehumidifier system under it. I am wondering if an Edwards woven felt string-cover would afford the additional protection we need to keep those strings from rusting more. It seems that we must be having enough of a temperature differential occurring to cause condensation on the strings. The wool should buffer both temperature and humidity. Anyone out there with experience successfully battling this? Maybe PureSound Wire is the way to go. Andrew Anderson TAMIU, LCC, LISD, UISD
