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 heat would work?  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?
