Does adding moisture to the block tighten or loosen the tuning pins?  Now
there's grist for the mill.

"Water should be kept in a jar in the bottom of the piano"

Actually, I have recommended just that on two or three instances when people
were in difficult financial straits, and I had some marginal (at least)
tightening of tuning pins over a space of about two months.  They were, of
course, bad pianos and the folks couldn't afford the good humidity control.
