Along that vein of adding heat, you could stick a couple of 50 watt DChaser bars under the pin block for a couple of days to see what happens (remove action first, of course).

Maybe the piano should be put first in too humid a condition, causing the wood to swell, then in too dry a condition, causing the wood to shrink? Actually, you might try some steam in a small section, then the blow dryer on hot? Also seems like it would take forever.... Protek? Please Vince, some advice from experience? Diane
