I am going to use your idea on one of the other harpsichords and compare.

Easier, cheaper, helps the expensive organ too. Also, though I guess low = RH is more of a problem than high RH in your neck of the woods, what about Moisture-Sorb? I have had good luck with one packet sitting in my = harpsichord here at home - though Austin's RH has been pretty high recently, the = tuning has held comparatively well. You could install a couple packs in the pipe = chamber of the organ as well. Another idea to try....
