When I encounter this, I always talk to the owner about Dampp-chasers, and
also choice of tuning times (after rather than just before changes of
season). In general, humidity fluctuations are only a problem here for a
short period in the spring, when it has started to warm up and is still
raining. Most of the time the climate here is very benign for pianos.
