Here in Chicago, our building was constructed in the 70's. Surprisingly enough, there is a steam-injection system for the band and orchestra areas. When I came here (19 yrs. ago!), I got the building people to hook it up and try and bring the humidity up. Worked fine for a few hours untill the water started running down the interior walls.... So, it's around 14 percent RH today, and the SF10's hammer flanges have loosened up again, but there's rehearsals in there, and the violin bridges are popping, the cellos are splitting... Job security, I guess! Ron Koval _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
