I tuned a 1955 Cable-Nelson spinet this morning. It had just come to =
Florida
from its long-time home in New Mexico. Except for dust and a bit of =
wear,
the inside of this piano looked like new. Absolutely no corrosion on any
metal part (strings, tuning pins, pressure bars, etc.). Don't see much =
of
that in Florida. Is this common for 50+ year old pianos in dry climates =
like
that of New Mexico?

Amazing.
