You will need to have it tuned frequently during the first = year to keep the pitch from rising too high. As humidity is absorbed = into a piano, the pitch rises. You can expect it to rise as much as a = half step or more in some areas of the piano. This rise may be enough = to break some strings, particularly in a piano of this vintage. I have = seen it happen here. Otherwise, some action parts may become sluggish, but a good technician = should be able to remedy that situation. Careful consideration should = be given to whether the piano is worth the cost of transporting it to = Hawaii. Chances are that it will cost more than its value to move it. Hope this is of some help.
