I have a good test case here in DC, which of course sees more humidty
swings than the Pacific NW, but isn't as bad as the NE or the northern
midwest.  An architect designed and built a small addition with radiant
heat and moved their Acrosonic into the room.  The tuning stability was
far worse, so they moved it back into the 'main' house.  It fared much
better, but they liked the other location, so back it went.  

A heavy rug with a pad helps a little.
