To much ridicule, Ric, I have previously described how
I lacquer keyframes and keysticks for stability ( and
ease of cleaning!). My mockers have yet to provide a
reason against this, other than that it somehow
violates "TRADITION"!!!
    As for wood losing its "hygroscopicality": perhaps
you are referring to the phenomenon wherein once
fibers have been compressed by humidity absorption,
drying will not entice the previous dimension, and
vise-versa upon re-hyrdration.
