The piano will go through a process of acclimation. What the process of acclimation will entail remains to be seen until the piano is relocated. One customer I have moved from California here to Oklahoma, reported never having a sticking or sluggish key problem, only to have the majority of center pins seize up during Oklahoma's high humidity times. A Dampp-Chaser de-humidifier rod returns the piano to a playing condition during these times like magic. Keith A.
