  Hi guys, 

  I wondered. I have an antique piano, whoses strings are attached on a wooden frame. So : according to the weather, especially in Belgium where we are known to see the four seasons in the same day, I can have humidity varying from 55 to 80% quite easily. which you can imagine, can raise the piano for more than 50 cents. I wondered if I really should 
  - put it back in tune, each time, or
  - not touch anything untils it's back to the normal humidity rate, 
  - change it only at the seasond change but avoid changing string tension to often
  - just tune it on itself, so that when humidity goes bach to normal, I optionnaly have to returne it on itself but not change the whole opiano tonality ?

  Thank you,
