This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi Kenneth, At one time I also had the same opinion. I would say that there are only = =3D 5 centre pins causing trouble and change them. The same piano next year = =3D only had 6 more and the following year about 9. But I guess that the =3D worst part is that the entire action was uneven in control and I did not = =3D want to change all the centrepins to even it up when I knew the problem = =3D would go away in 3 months when the humidity dropped. Really Kenneth it depends on where you live, conditions the piano lives = =3D in and the humidity variations. Here in Darwin this morning the temp = =3D was 28C humidity was 92% at 9 AM. It went to 34C with the humidity off = =3D 69% at 3 PM and most people leave there windows open to get the breezes. Now if I was living in Newcastle where the MC of timber remains constant = =3D all year around I would agree with you.=3D20 Where do you live ? regards Tony Caught Australia Hi Tony! Of course that's right. I may have sounded somewhat adamnant on my = comment about DC. Yes, of course the climate plays a major role. I live = in the Interior of BC; but I have worked many years for a piano store in = Vancouver where it is very damp; but temperatures quite moderate. Not = once have I had a need for DC.=20 I have seen pianos across Canada. Pianos on the Prairie Provinces, where = the winters are very severe, the soundboards are very cracked; Vancouver = on the other hand, where it is damp and cool, has the best soundboards I = have seen anywhere.
