<< Questions:
 
 As stated earlier, has anyone seen this?
 
 Along with changing the location of the piano, will a climate control
 handle this magnitude of change "outside the cavity?" 
 
 Any other ideas?

A damp chaser system will help control the problem, which is that the keybed
is warping. In addition to the damp chaser, get a piece of 1" angle iron,
about the length of the keybed, and screw it to the underside of the keybed.
When doing so, make sure you leave enough room so that the bottom board can
still be taken out.
