Hi Jeff, Yes I do, and the piano has a DC with undercover for about three years. It stays very stable. The room RH was 33% last Thursday. The piano was not out of tune and there were only two unisons that were wild, one was D5 which I've been having trouble with this last 6 weeks. The right string is always quite a bit out of tune, this time it was flat. I've been starting to see if it is always flat or not but have not kept track long enough to know yet. I've been paying special attention to that note when tuning, but it still seems to be a problem.
