  Bucur, I might add cites the following  factors relative to changes in =

  Chemical and physical changes over time with fluctuations of =

the results of vibrations and static loading.=20

Sigh. I'm certainly glad to know that your expert agrees that changes =
take place in wood as the result of fluctuations of temperature and =
humidity and static loading. While I don't accept the notion that there =
are chemical changes taking place as a result of simple aging that will =
affect the performance of the piano--been talked about lots, never =
proven--there are certainly physical and structural changes resulting =
from static loading and from those variations in temperature and =
humidity that do.=20

You're on the right track. Don't stop now!

Regards,

Del
