<div>As I'm sure all of you know, a lot of people have been without power in Houston for quite a while. Almost two weeks, now.</div>

<div>I have a customer who's still in that position who owns a late 1800's Knabe grand. Around 1890, I think. My question is that because of its age, is this instrument more likely than newer types to develop any damage/problems in the future from not being in air-conditioning for that long? It's been restrung somewhere along the way but beside minor repairs, I believe that is all that's ever been done to it, except tuning. The weather hasn't been TOO bad but the temperature <em>has</em> gotten into the low to mid 90's and humidity into the 70%+ range during the day. I'm concerned primarily about any possible structural problems with an instrument this old. </div>

<div>I'm hoping that some of you who are more experienced with wood of all kinds could give me some information here. Thanks. </div>
